How comes?
At the start of the year we have ported some products from obsolete microcontrollers to the NXP MCXA family of microcontrollers. Main motivation for this choice was the long time availability.
So I had a few month working with that chip and it's infrastructure.
And what can I say: They are pretty good. Price is okay. Dev-Board availability is good.
The software stack works. Integration into their Eclipse based IDE is fine (and you are not forced to use it). Yes, there are some warts in the software here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Hardware features: Pretty cool. It does all the basics and more. I especially like that they have fifos worth speaking of for nearly all peripherials.
Found no silicon bugs so far, even when I used the more obscure features of the chip.
Performance is good as well.
And yet - you find nearly to no posts about these chips. How comes?
Hi @naofomi
Thanks for your interest in the MCXA product family.
Since MCXA is a relatively new MCU series, there is naturally less community content and fewer forum discussions available compared to mature product families such as LPC and Kinetis.
Customers also receive support through other NXP channels, including DFAEs and private support cases.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here. We will be glad to help and support your development.
Thank you.
