Launched in October, the i.MX RT1010 crossover MCU further expands NXP’s popular i.MX RT series and introduces the world to the next generation of low-cost, high-performance MCUs.

Building upon the market success and broad adoption of the Kinetis MCU portfolio, the K32 L3 MCU family leverages the combination of high-efficiency and low-power capabilities of the Arm® Cortex®-M4 while adding another Cortex-M0+ providing new enhancements such as low-leakage power-optimized peripherals, a DC-DC converter, numerous serial communication interfaces and up to 1.25MB flash and 384KB of SRAM memory.  

Focusing on low-power and fast wake up times, the K32 L2 MCU family – based on the Arm® Cortex®-M0+ - targets power-conscious end nodes and can enable a wide range of general purpose industrial and IoT applications. Today, the K32 L2 MCU family is being brought to market in a scalable set of packages, core performance and memory configurations, from 64KB to 512KB flash, and backed by unmatched enablement, led by NXP’s complementary suite of MCUXpresso software and tools with example projects utilizing IAR, Keil, and GCC based toolchains.

Innovation means being first. And with more than 20 years of firsts, NXP’s MCU portfolio has grown into a powerhouse of more than 200 Arm®-based MCU families scaling from low-power Cortex®-M0+ to high performance Cortex®-M7 crossover MCUs.

MCUXpresso IDE is currently supported on macOS 10.12 to 10.14.

In macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple have introduced a new additional "signing" mechanism for software that is download outside of the Apple App Store, know as "Notarization". Currently MCUXpresso IDE for macOS is signed using NXP's Apple Developer ID, but has not yet gone through Apple's notarization process. This means that by default you will not be able to install if you are running macOS 10.15.
