Open CPU software
NINA-B50 series modules are used as open CPU modules in which applications developed with the
NXP MCUXpresso SDK can be run. The most recent application development guidelines are found at
the MCUXpresso SDK API Reference Manual
. These following sections in this chapter provide
details about MCUXpresso SDK, MCUXpresso IDE, and the K32W1480 in NINA-B50.

MCUXpresso SDK
The NXP MCUXpresso SDK includes a broad selection of drivers and libraries that provide a rich
development environment for a broad range of devices and applications. The SDK is delivered in zip
container file for easy installation.
The SDK comes with support for the MCUXpresso IDE and IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.
