M.2 Dock
An essential carrier board to quickly prototype your next embedded design with a removable M.2 module.¶
Description¶
The M.2 Dock is an essential carrier board to quickly prototype your next embedded design with a removable M.2 module. It features a fully-integrated DAPLink debugger with Power Profiling, enabling you to program, debug and perform real-time current profiling of your IoT applications without using external tools.
This design extends the interfaces compared to the M.2 Module through an M.2 E-Key connector, including USB 2.0 ports, UART, SPI, TWI, PDM, I2S, PWM, ADC and GPIOs.
The M.2 Dock also comes with 1.3" 240x240 Color IPS TFT LCD, Li-Po Battery Charger, microSD Card Slot, Grove Connectors, LEDs and Buttons.
