u-blox MINI-NORA-B126 Evaluation Kit

u-blox MINI-NORA-B126 Evaluation Kit provides stand-alone use of the NORA-B1 series module featuring the Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 dual-core RF System on Chip (SoC). The evaluation kit provides a great starting point for almost any Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy (LE), Thread, or Zigbee® projects. All the features of the NORA-B1 modules are easily accessed from the evaluation board with a simple USB connection to provide power and virtual COM ports. The MINI-NORA-B126 evaluation kit features two user buttons, USB peripheral connector, a user RGB LED, and a reset button. Additionally, QSPI flash provides an additional 64Mbit (8MiB) memory, including Execute-in-Place (XIP). The two mikroBUS™ sockets allow the NORA-B1 to host mikroBUS add-on boards and one Qwiic® connecter allows the use of external QWIIC® boards. The kit contains a MINI-NORA-B1 evaluation board with a NORA-B126 module, NFC antenna, and 2.4GHz antenna integrated onto the NORA-B126 module.
