FRDM-MCXE247 Quick Start

[#1]

This article mainly introduces the design of the FRDM-MCXE247 and how to import and run ACH examples.

Through this article, readers can gain a detailed understanding of the main resources of the FRDM-MCXE247 board, design files, and how to import, download, and run an SDK example.

Hardware Requirements

• One FRDM-MCXE247 board
• A personal computer
• One USB Type-C cable

Software Requirements

• SDK25.06.00_FRDM-MCXE247 (Download from: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com)
• MCUXpresso IDE v25.6 or later (Download from: MCUXpresso IDE | NXP)
• Serial Terminal Software for PC:

Board User Manual

The FRDM-MCXE247 board is a design and evaluation platform based on the NXP MCX E247 microcontroller (MCU). The MCX E247 MCU is based on an Arm Cortex-M4F core, running at speeds of up to 112 MHz with a 2.70 V–5.5 V supply.

The FRDM-MCXE247 board includes:

• One MCX E247 device
• 64 Mbit external serial flash (Winbond)
• FXLS8974CFR3 I2C accelerometer sensor
• NMH1000 I2C magnetic switch
• Three TJA1057BTK CAN PHYs
• Ethernet PHY
• RGB LED
• Push buttons
• MCU-Link debug probe circuit

The board is compatible with Arduino shield modules, Pmod boards, and mikroBUS.

For debugging, the board uses an onboard (OB) debug probe, MCU-Link OB, based on the NXP LPC55S16 MCU.

In this document, the MCX E247 is referred to as the target MCU, and the LPC55S16 as the debug MCU.

This document provides detailed information about the FRDM-MCXE247 board interfaces, accelerometer, power supplies, clocks, connectors, jumpers, push buttons, LEDs, and the MCU-Link OB debug probe.
