NXP FRDM Lab - Embedded World 2026
Learn. Build. Explore—On Your Own Time.
The NXP FRDM Lab at Embedded World 2026 is your hands-on destination to explore embedded development—from Edge AI and Zephyr RTOS to motor control, security, connectivity, and GUIs.
Whether you attend live or want to continue learning after the show, all training sessions and demo materials will be available for self‑guided exploration. That means you won’t miss out—before, during, or after the event.
FRDM Lab Training Sessions
Each training session is designed to be practical, reusable, and self‑paced, using the same materials showcased during the event.

Demos at FRDM Lab
Below is a curated list of demos you’ll find in the FRDM Lab. Each demo highlights a real-world use case, with hardware and software you can explore in detail.
Hands‑On Experience: Build the Demo Yourself at the FRDM Lab
A set of selected demos will be available as guided hands‑on demo inside the FRDM Lab. With support from NXP experts, visitors can re‑create the full demo flow—from loading the project in MCUXpresso for VS Code, to connecting FRDM boards and expansion modules, to running real firmware on hardware.
Everything customers touch during the demo is fully reproducible at home, using the same boards and open resources.
