FRDM Development Ecosystem

At NXP, we believe in empowering engineers with the FRDM to innovate. Whether you’re an experienced developer or just getting started, our FRDM ecosystem offers low-cost, modular hardware, and software and tools to design without bounds. FRDM provides an easy development journey and extensive ecosystem to simplify your design.

NXP has developed Zephyr support for most FRDM boards. Please visit our Zephyr page to find out more.

Comprehensive Software and Tools

MCU-based FRDM boards are supported by the MCUXpresso suite of software and tools, MPU-based FRDM board Cortex-A cores are enabled with Debian and Yocto BSPs from NXP, and with most also featuring Zephyr OS, you have full control over customization, flexibility and adaptability leveraging a broad range of open-source libraries and frameworks.

Modular Hardware

Scale your project with modular, plug-and-play FRDM and expansion boards. Whether you’re experimenting or enhancing functionality, our expansion boards ecosystem seamlessly integrate into the FRDM platform. Find supported expansion boards in Expansion Board Hub.

Application Examples

Leverage our Application Code Hub to quickly find and easily use a wide range of application source code, application notes, demos and useful code snippets. For FRDM MPU boards, GoPoint is available as a pre-built, user-friendly application to try out a range of use case examples.
