Future of FRDM-KL25Z

alexdean — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 17:34:12 GMT

What are the plans for the FRDM-KL25Z going forward? Its availability has been quite limited. It's the target platform for my textbook and two large embedded systems courses I teach at NC State University. Could someone from the NXP University Program please contact me?

Thanks,
Alex

Did you hear anything or learn anything?

What's the status with the NXP University Programs?

I have heard nothing. I see that NXP recently announced the apparent Kinetis L successor (MCX L), with the FRDM form factor boards available. However, there sure are a lot of other interesting Cortex-M-based microcontrollers available from Raspberry Pi (Pico), Renesas, STMicro, Infineon/Cypress, Microchip, TI, etc...

If I do ever hear anything, I'll update this thread.

By the way, the Embedded Systems Fundamentals books are now available for free download! PDFs of both the first (NXP FRDM-KL25Z) and second (ST Nucleo-F091RC) editions are now available from the Arm University Github site.
