1 FRDM-MCXN947 overview
The NXP FRDM-MCXN947 board is a low-cost design and evaluation board based on the MCXN947 device.
The MCXN947 device integrates a dual Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller and a neural processing unit (NPU)
into a single package. NXP supports the MCXN947 device with tools and software that include hardware
evaluation boards, software development IDE, example applications, and drivers.
The FRDM-MCXN947 board consists of one MCXN947 device with a 64 Mbit external serial flash (provided
by Winbond). The board also features P3T1755DP I3C temperature sensor, TJA1057GTK/3Z CAN PHY,
Ethernet PHY, SDHC circuit (card slot is DNP), RGB LED, touch pad, high-speed USB circuit, push buttons, and
MCU-Link debug probe circuit. The board is compatible with the Arduino shield modules, Pmod boards, and
mikroBUS. The board also supports a camera module and NXP lost-cost LCD module PAR-LCD-S035.
The onboard MCU-Link debug probe is based on the LPC55S69 MCU. Before using the MCU-Link functionality,
ensure that it is programmed with the required firmware. For details, see Section 3.5.

Part
identifier
Jumper type Description Reference section
J18 1x2 pin header •Open (default setting): MCU-Link VCOM port is enabled.
•Shorted: Sends a low signal on LPC_HW_VER_6 to
disable MCU-Link VCOM port
Section 3.8
J19 1x2 pin header •Open (default setting): Enables the MCU-Link SWD
feature
•Shorted: Sends a low signal on LPC_HW_VER_7 to
disable the onboard MCU-Link SWD feature
Note: This configuration is required to enable target MCU
debug through an external debug probe.
Section 3.3
J21 1x2 pin jumper MCU-Link (LPC55S69) force ISP mode jumper:
•Open (default setting): MCU-Link follows the normal
boot sequence (MCU-Link boots from internal flash if a
boot image is found). With the internal flash erased, the
MCU-Link normal boot sequence falls through to ISP boot
mode.
•Shorted: MCU-Link is forced to ISP mode (USB). Use this
setting to reprogram the MCU-Link internal flash with a
new image or use the MCUXpresso IDE with the CMSIS-
DAP protocol.
Note: By default, MCU-Link flash is preprogrammed with a
version of CMSIS-DAP firmware.
Section 3.5
J22 1x2 pin jumper MCU-Link SWD clock enable jumper:
•Open: MCU-Link SWD clock is disabled.
•Shorted (default setting): MCU-Link SWD clock is
enabled.

1.7 Push buttons
Tactile buttons are populated on the FRDM-MCXN947 board for human machine interaction (HMI). Each of the
SW[1:3] buttons has a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor for debouncing and pads for external pull-up resistors.
Table 4 describes the FRDM-MCXN947 push buttons. The push buttons are shown in Figure 3.
Part identifier Switch name Description
SW1 Reset button (MCXN947 RST) Pressing SW1 resets the target MCU that causes board peripherals to
reset to their default states and execute the boot code. When SW1 is
pressed, the reset LED D1 turns ON.
SW2 Wakeup button SW2 is a general-purpose input and a low-power wake up unit (WUU)
pin. Pressing SW2 gives a low level on P0_23/WAKEUP_B, otherwise,
it is a high level on P0_23/WAKEUP_B.
SW3 In-system programming (ISP)
mode switch
SW3 is an ISP mode switch and can also act as a general-purpose
input. Pressing SW3 gives a low level on P0_6/ISPMODE_N-DEBUG,
otherwise, it is a high level on P0_6/ISPMODE_N-DEBUG.
