4.3 Board functions
The combination of a multi-sensor shield development board and a freedom development
MCU board enables a complete solution for quick sensor evaluation, prototyping and
development using a sensor toolbox development ecosystem.
The FRDM-STBC-AGMP03 has been designed to be fully Arduino I/O header compatible
and optimized for the operating conditions. The FRDM-STBC-AGMP03 sensor shield
board gets powered up by a FRDM-K22F MCU board by stacking the shield board on
top of the MCU board using the Arduino I/O headers. See Figure 1. The FRDM-K22FAGMP03 gets power by connecting the Sensor Demonstration Kit to the PC via the USB
cable. Plug the cable in the OpenSDA USB port on the board and the USB connector on
the PC.
