The BM71-XPRO board is designed to be able to easily add Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to your XPRO development tools. It can be used as an extension to your favorite SAMx or AVRx XPRO boards or can be used standalone. The BM71 XPRO is fully supported within Atmel Studio with example code in ASF3.

With Microchip Bluetooth Low Energy modules, there’s no need to be an RF expert or navigate the costly and time-consuming certification process. These modules come with global certification, preprogrammed firmware and a simple ASCII interface for ease of use. Each module’s data sheet also provides board placement and layout guides to further simplify your development.

  • Fully certified for use in USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan to save time and money
  • ASCII interface enables simple communication with host MCU
  • Preprogrammed with user-friendly firmware
  • Drop-in wireless cable replacement
  • High level of integration significantly reduces external Bill of Material and costs
 
Because delivering connected devices shouldn’t be complex. No matter what device you’re working on, or what market you’re in.Let’s simplify Intelligence with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

 NXP wireless solutions build upon decades of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth silicon, system and software design expertise. NXP is committed to drive large-scale deployment across multiple markets by a broad array of power- and cost-optimized Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipsets, enabling products with today’s most advanced Wi-Fi capabilities.

NXP Completes Acquisition of Marvell’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity Assets on Dec 2019.As part of the transition from Marvell to NXP, NXP is changing the orderable part number for shipments by NXP after the close of the acquisition. 

The FRDM-KW41Z is a development kit enabled by the Kinetis® W series KW41Z/31Z/21Z (KW41Z) family built on Arm® Cortex®-M0+ processor with integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver supporting Bluetooth® Smart/Bluetooth®Low Energy (BLE) v4.2, Generic FSK, IEEE® 802.15.4 and Thread.

The FRDM-KW41Z kit contains two Freedom boards that can be used as a development board or a shield to connect to a host processor. The FRDM-KW41Z is form-factor compatible with the Arduino® Rev3 pin layout for more expansion options.

The FRDM-KW41Z highly-sensitive, optimized 2.4 GHz radio features a PCB F-antenna which can be bypassed to test via SMA connection, multiple power supply options, push/capacitive touch buttons, switches, LEDs and integrated sensors.

The FRDM-KW41Z platform is now supported by Arm® Mbed OS and Zephyr OS, both open source embedded operating systems for developing the Internet of Things.
