Product details
Overview
KIT-STBI-A8971 from NXP Semiconductors is a sensor toolbox development board designed for rapid evaluation and prototyping of the FXLS8971CF 3-axis accelerometer. It integrates an Arduino-compatible shield board with the LPC55S16-EVK MCU board, supports I²C and SPI interfaces, enables hardware-configurable accelerometer modes (normal/motion detect), and targets precision leveling and angle measurement applications.
For engineers reviewing the KIT-STBI-A8971 datasheet, KIT-STBI-A8971 pinout, KIT-STBI-A8971 application, or KIT-STBI-A8971 equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware configuration options, interface selection methods (SW1/SW2 jumpers), out-of-box FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool GUI support, Arduino and Freedom board compatibility, and current-consumption evaluation capability.
Technical Context
The KIT-STBI-A8971 is a stacked hardware solution comprising the FXLS8971CF sensor shield board and LPC55S16-EVK MCU board. It operates as a complete evaluation platform where the shield board provides direct access to the accelerometer's analog and digital pins, configurable via SW1 (operating mode) and SW2 (I²C/SPI interface selection).
Hardware configurability includes jumper-based selection of I²C0 pins (J7/J8), I²C vs SPI digital interface (SW2 pins 2–3 or 1–2), and ACCEL NORMAL vs motion-detect mode (SW1 pins 2–3). The board delivers real-time sensor data visualization through FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool and supports embedded development using the IoT Sensing SDK.

FAQ
What is the KIT-STBI-A8971 used for?
The KIT-STBI-A8971 is a sensor evaluation and development kit built around the FXLS8971CF 3-axis accelerometer. It enables rapid prototyping, real-time sensor data visualization via FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool, and embedded firmware development using the IoT Sensing SDK. The KIT-STBI-A8971 supports both I²C and SPI interfaces and is optimized for precision leveling and angle measurement use cases.
Does the KIT-STBI-A8971 include a microcontroller?
Yes, the KIT-STBI-A8971 includes the LPC55S16-EVK MCU board as part of its standard kit contents. This ARM Cortex-M33-based evaluation board serves as the host processor for the FXLS8971CF sensor shield, providing USB connectivity, debug capability, and runtime execution of sensor firmware. The KIT-STBI-A8971 relies on this integrated MCU for full out-of-box functionality.
How do I configure the KIT-STBI-A8971 for I²C communication?
To configure the KIT-STBI-A8971 for I²C, connect pins 2–3 of SW2 on the sensor shield board and set J7 and J8 jumpers to pins 1–2 to select I²C0. This hardware configuration routes the FXLS8971CF's I²C signals to the LPC55S16-EVK's I²C0 peripheral. The KIT-STBI-A8971 user manual (UM11910) confirms these jumper settings for reliable I²C operation.
Can the KIT-STBI-A8971 be used with other development boards besides the LPC55S16-EVK?
Yes, the KIT-STBI-A8971 sensor shield board is designed with Arduino® I/O headers and is compatible with most NXP Freedom development boards. Its mechanical and electrical interface follows Arduino Uno R3 specifications, enabling stacking and signal routing across compatible hosts. However, full software support (e.g., FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool, IoT Sensing SDK) is validated specifically for the LPC55S16-EVK within the KIT-STBI-A8971 reference configuration.
What software tools are supported by the KIT-STBI-A8971?
The KIT-STBI-A8971 is supported by FreeMASTER-Sensor-Tool for GUI-based sensor data visualization and the IoT Sensing SDK for embedded firmware development. These tools are part of NXP's Sensor Toolbox ecosystem and provide pre-integrated drivers, example projects, and abstraction layers for the FXLS8971CF. The KIT-STBI-A8971 documentation confirms out-of-box compatibility with both tools when used with the included LPC55S16-EVK.
