NXP's LPCXpresso43S67-A70CM cloud connectivity kit provides a complete hardware and software platform for developers to evaluate and prototype with the LPC43S6x processor family and A70CM in cloud connected applications based on IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless connectivity.

The kit combines an LPCXpresso43S67 board, which also includes an A7001CM secure microcontroller, with a Zentri-designed, IEEE802.11b/g/n radio board featuring the Murata SN8000 industrial-grade module, to provide a high performance MCU platform for application development. The LPC general purpose shield also included in the kit provides access to Ethernet connectivity along with several sensing devices/inputs and a convenient LCD display. In addition to on-board sensors, the shield also provides easy access to terminal blocks for CAN bus analog inputs.

The A7001CM secure microcontroller complements the LPC43S67 by offering tamper-resistant public and secret key encryption, certificate management, and the ability to securely store other sensitive system information. The plug-in NTAG I²C board provides a convenient option for applications such as system commissioning and configuration, passing diagnostic information with an NFC-enabled device such as an Android phone, or both.

The LPC436x and LPC43S6x are ARM^®-Cortex®-M4 based microcontrollers for embedded applications which include an ARM Cortex-M0 coprocessor and an ARM Cortex-M0 subsystem for managing peripherals, up to 1 MB of Flash and 154 kB of on-chip SRAM, 16 kB of EEPROM memory, a quad SPI Flash interface (SPIFI), advanced configurable peripherals such as the SCTimer / PWM and the serial general purpose I/O (SGPIO) interface, security features with AES engine (LPC43S6x), two high-speed USB controllers, Ethernet, LCD, an external memory controller, and multiple digital and analog peripherals. These operate at CPU frequencies of up to 204 MHz.
