FRDM-MCXN947 Board User Manual
1 FRDM-MCXN947 overview
The NXP FRDM-MCXN947 board is a low-cost design and evaluation board based on the MCXN947 device.
The MCXN947 device integrates a dual Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller and a neural processing unit (NPU)
into a single package. NXP supports the MCXN947 device with tools and software that include hardware
evaluation boards, software development IDE, example applications, and drivers.
The FRDM-MCXN947 board consists of one MCXN947 device with a 64 Mbit external serial flash (provided
by Winbond). The board also features P3T1755DP I3C temperature sensor, TJA1057GTK/3Z CAN PHY,
Ethernet PHY, SDHC circuit (card slot is DNP), RGB LED, touch pad, high-speed USB circuit, push buttons, and
MCU-Link debug probe circuit. The board is compatible with the Arduino shield modules, Pmod boards, and
mikroBUS. The board also supports a camera module and NXP lost-cost LCD module PAR-LCD-S035.
The onboard MCU-Link debug probe is based on the LPC55S69 MCU. Before using the MCU-Link functionality,
ensure that it is programmed with the required firmware. For details, see Section 3.5.
