Xtrinsic Sensors—Robust Reliable Performance

Freescale Freedom Development

Platform for Xtrinsic Sensors

Overview

The Freescale Freedom development platform is a small, low-power, cost-

effective evaluation and development system for quick application prototyping and

demonstration of Xtrinsic Sensors with Kinetis MCUs.

Each platform is scalable leveraging various Xtrinsic sensors. As a next-generation

tool set, there is variation of what can be demonstrated from basic discrete, raw data

up through more complex contextual awareness. The FRDM-FXS family of boards

are the first of its kind offering up to 12-axis sensing, wireless with Bluetooth® and

the compatible Android™ app—the Xtrinsic Sensor Fusion Toolbox.

With ease of integration it is easy to get started. Simply choose your preferred

Freescale Freedom development hardware with Xtrinsic sensors and select

compatible drag-and-drop software installation for compiled binaries.
