Mouser Electronics   has announced the availability of the FRDM-A-S32K312 and FRDM-A-S32K344 evaluation and development boards from NXP Semiconductors   as part of its offerings. Ideal for prototyping automotive applications, the NXP FRDM automotive platform is also suitable for advanced data analysis, diagnostics, embedded systems, autonomous robotics, industrial automation, and motor control.

Based on the 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 S32K312 microcontroller (MCU), the FRDM-A-S32K312 offers single-core mode, ASIL B safety hardware, an HSE security engine, over-the-air (OTA) update support, and low power. The FRDM-A-S32K344 is based on the S32K344 MCU and features dual cores running in lockstep at 160 MHz, ASIL D safety hardware, an HSE security engine, OTA support, advanced connectivity, a floating-point unit (FPU), and low power. Additionally, the FRDM-A-S32K344 board includes a 3-axis accelerometer and a digital temperature sensor, enabling real-time environmental feedback.

Both FRDM boards feature JTAG connectors for external debugging tools. The FRDM-A-S32K344 also includes an integrated OpenSDA debug accessed via the USB Type-C port. On-board CAN FD and LIN transceivers provide connectivity for both FRDM boards, with the FRDM-A-S32K344 board also offering Ethernet 100BASE-T. Both boards feature Arduino® UNO-compatible headers for easy integration with various expansion shields, such as the DEVKIT-MOTORGD for motor control or the DEVKIT-COMM for communication.

NXP’s FRDM boards offer an integrated development environment (IDE) that installs in a single click, along with real-time operating systems and communication stacks. The NXP Application Code Hub (ACH) can be used to start building applications with ready-to-use examples that can then be evolved into a production-ready solution.
