Product details
Overview
FRDM-K22F-A8974 from NXP Semiconductors is a sensor toolbox development kit comprising the FRDM-K22F MCU board and FRDM-STBI-A8974 shield board with FXLS8974CF 3-axis low-power motion wake accelerometer. It supports I2C/SPI interfaces, Arduino-compatible headers, and hardware-configurable motion-detect mode for rapid IoT sensor evaluation.
For engineers reviewing the FRDM-K22F-A8974 datasheet, FRDM-K22F-A8974 pinout, FRDM-K22F-A8974 application, or FRDM-K22F-A8974 equivalent, this kit delivers validated hardware-software integration via FreeMASTER Sensor Tool and IoTSensingSDK to accelerate prototyping of ultra-low-power motion-sensing systems.
Technical Context
The FRDM-K22F-A8974 integrates the K22F microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M4, 120 MHz, 128 KB SRAM, 512 KB flash) with the FXLS8974CF accelerometer (±2g/±4g/±8g ranges, 1.8 V operation, 1.2 µA wake-on-motion current). The stack enables real-time sensor data acquisition, configuration, and visualization without custom firmware development.
Hardware configurability allows switching between normal and motion-detect accelerometer modes and between I2C and SPI communication protocols using on-board jumpers. Power is delivered through the FRDM-K22F's OpenSDA USB interface, eliminating external supplies during evaluation.

FAQ
What is the FRDM-K22F-A8974 used for?
The FRDM-K22F-A8974 is a complete sensor evaluation kit combining the FRDM-K22F MCU board and FRDM-STBI-A8974 shield with FXLS8974CF accelerometer. It is used to rapidly evaluate motion wake-up functionality, configure sensor parameters via FreeMASTER Sensor Tool, and prototype ultra-low-power IoT sensing applications without writing low-level drivers. The FRDM-K22F-A8974 enables immediate hardware-software co-validation.
Does the FRDM-K22F-A8974 include both MCU and sensor hardware?
Yes, the FRDM-K22F-A8974 includes the full FRDM-K22F MCU board (K22F microcontroller) and the FRDM-STBI-A8974 sensor shield board featuring the FXLS8974CF 3-axis accelerometer. These are pre-kitted and designed to stack directly via Arduino-compatible headers, forming an integrated evaluation platform out of the box. The FRDM-K22F-A8974 requires no additional boards for basic motion-sensing evaluation.
How do I configure the FXLS8974CF on the FRDM-K22F-A8974?
Configuration is performed using the FreeMASTER Sensor Tool software, which communicates with the FRDM-K22F-A8974 over USB. Users can adjust accelerometer full-scale range (±2g/±4g/±8g), output data rate, wake-on-motion thresholds, and interface mode (I2C/SPI) via GUI controls. All settings are applied in real time without recompiling firmware. The FRDM-K22F-A8974 supports both interactive tuning and script-based automation.
Is the FRDM-K22F-A8974 compatible with other Freedom boards?
The FRDM-STBI-A8974 shield portion of the FRDM-K22F-A8974 is Arduino R3-compatible and mechanically compatible with most NXP Freedom development boards that feature matching header layouts. However, full functional compatibility depends on MCU peripheral support for I2C/SPI and GPIO control required by the FXLS8974CF. The FRDM-K22F-A8974 is fully validated only with the included FRDM-K22F base board.
What software tools are required for the FRDM-K22F-A8974?
The FRDM-K22F-A8974 requires FreeMASTER Sensor Tool for GUI-based sensor configuration and live data visualization, and the IoTSensingSDK for embedded firmware development and sensor fusion implementation. Both are freely available from NXP's official website. No proprietary IDE or license is needed to begin evaluation. The FRDM-K22F-A8974 ships with preloaded firmware enabling immediate USB enumeration and tool connectivity.
