Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Solution

Murata has partnered with Embedded Artists to integrate Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® into existing NXP i.MX Development Platforms. The i.MX Platforms, based on the Arm® Cortex® cores, are designed to bridge the gap between the performance of Applications Processors and the flexible usability of Microcontrollers (MCUs) without increasing costs or power consumption.
The Murata uSD-M.2 Adapter connects to the uSD slot on the NXP i.MX Platforms, which provides power and WLAN-SDIO. The Murata Adapter provides an M.2 connector, allowing application developers to connect the Embedded Artists Types 1DX, 1MW, 1LV, and 1CX M.2 EVBs, which provide IEEE 802.11/b/g/n and BT/BLE connectivity.
