FRDM Training and Resources This article provide a guide of available resources for FRDM Development boards to help you to find and use available resources (Boards, Guides, Hands-On Trainings and more)

  The RW61x is a highly integrated, low-power tri-radio wireless MCU with an integrated MCU and Wi-Fi ®  6 + Bluetooth ®  Low Energy (LE) 5.4 / 802.15.4 radios designed for a broad array of applications, including connected smart home devices, enterprise and industrial automation, smart accessories and smart energy. The RW612 MCU subsystem includes a 260 MHz Arm ®  Cortex ® -M33 core with Trustzone ™ -M, 1.2 MB on-chip SRAM and a high-bandwidth Quad SPI interface with an on-the-fly decryption engine for securely accessing off-chip XIP flash. The RW612 includes a full-featured 1x1 dual-band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) 20 MHz Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) subsystem bringing higher throughput, better network efficiency, lower latency and improved range over previous generation Wi-Fi standards. The Bluetooth LE radio supports 2 Mbit/s high-speed data rate, long range and extended advertising. The on-chip 802.15.4 radio can support the latest Thread mesh networking protocol. In addition, the RW612 can support Matter over Wi-Fi or Matter over Thread offering a common, interoperable application layer across ecosystems and products. Hands-On Trainings Introduction to RW61x and FRDM-RW612 Quick introduction to RW61x family, module offering and FRDM-RW612 evaluation board FRDM-RW612 Out of the Box Experience Wi-Fi CLI (Command Line Interface) demo provides the user with a menu with different commands to explore the Wi-Fi capabilities of the FRDM RW612 board. When the board is powered on for the first time, the green RGB LED should be blinking indicating that the demo is loaded into the board. FRDM-RW612 Getting Started. Wi-Fi CLI on VS Code This lab guides you step by step on how to get started with FRD-RW612 board using Visual Studio Code  FRDM-RW612 BLE Sensors over Zephyr This demo shows the temperature from the i2c temperature sensor integrated in the board. This demo is based on Zephyr RTOS. The information can be monitored in the UART terminal or in the IoT Toolbox app. FRDM-RW612 Kitchen Timer using Low-cost LCD This lab shows how to modify a Kitchen Timer graphical application using LCD-PAR-S035 display Changing the date and button colors. The timer can also be viewed on a serial terminal.   Community Support If you have questions regarding this training or RW61x series, please leave your comments in our Wireless MCU Community! here
