NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT1040 Evaluation Kit

NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT1040 Evaluation Kit provides a platform to develop the 600MHz i.MX RT1040 Crossover MCU based on the Arm^® Cortex^®-M7 architecture. The i.MX RT1040 board includes a high-performance onboard debug probe, audio subsystem, accelerometer, networking, and USB plus expansion options for displays and other add-on boards. Additionally, the i.MX RT1040 kit features a Murata Wi-Fi module based on NXP's IW416 2.4/5GHz Dual-Band 1x1 Wi-Fi^® 4 (802.11n) + BLUETOOTH® 5.2 Solution.

The NXP i.MX RT1040 Evaluation Kit is intended to be a reference for low-cost board designs utilizing a 2-layer PCB design.
