Hello everyone,
I'm starting an IoT project. It's a device that will measure some variables and send them over WiFi to a server. The device will have a small 2.4" TFT screen with an SPI interface, as it has an internal ST7735, and it will be powered by a 3.7V battery. I've been searching for the best NXP MCU option for many days, but there are so many good MCUs and too much information that I'm afraid I might make a wrong choice. What MCU would you recommend for my application?
It's not necessary for the MCU to have integrated WiFi modules; I just need it to have very low power consumption in run mode and a USB device interface.
Regards.

Hi @MartinEnG ,
Thank you for your interest in the NXP product, I would like to provide service for you.
From your description, in fact, you are very care about the low power.
You mainly need the MCU which can support:
low power
SPI interface
WIFI interface, maybe you can use the UART, SDHC method interface
3.3V power
USB
To these requirement, I think so many MCU chips in the NXP can meet your requirement, you don't need to use the I.MX processor, that is very higher level to you.
You can consider: kinetis L series, LPC series, I.MX RT101x series.
Wish it helps you!
If you still have questions about it, please kindly let me know.
Best Regards,
Kerry

Hi @kerryzhou ,
Every chip is very good, and due to the cost, I think I will use the K32L2B31VFM0A, but I have a couple more questions. Are there any tools similar to Qt Designer for designing GUIs for the chip I mentioned? And, what is the MCU's lifespan?"
Regards
Hi @MartinEnG ,
NXP have Gui Guider:

But, it still didn't support K32L2B31VFM0A.
Maybe, you can consider the 3rd part Segger emwin:
