1 Board overview
The FRDM-MCXC444 board is a standalone development platform that supports two microcontrollers (MCUs):
the target MCU and an onboard debugger MCU. The target MCU is MCXC444VLH, which is a part of the MCX
C series of Arm Cortex-M0+ MCUs product family. The onboard debugger MCU is an LPC55S6x MCU family
device, LPC55S69JEV98.
The FRDM-MCXC444 board is compatible with the Arduino shield module, Mikroe click board, and Pmod board.
The FRDM-MCXC444 board comes preloaded with a LED blinky demo. The demo is available at the boards
\frdmmcxc444\demo_apps\led_blinky folder of MCUXpresso SDK.
The board is lead-free and RoHS-compliant. It can be used with a wide range of development tools, including
NXP MCUXpresso IDE, MCUXpresso IDE for Visual Studio Code, IAR Embedded Workbench, and Arm Keil
MDK.
This document provides detailed information about the FRDM-MCXC444 board including power supplies,
clocks, LEDs, motion and light sensors, SLCD module, MCU-Link debug probe circuit, and other interfaces on
the board.
