u-blox NINA-B4 Series Evaluation Boards

u-blox NINA-B4 Series Evaluation Boards are designed to evaluate NINA-B4 series modules. The evaluation kits include the NINA-B4 evaluation board, quick start guide, NFC antenna, and USB cable. These NINA-B4 evaluation boards are available in EVK-NINA-B400 and EVK-NINA-B406 variants that accommodate alternative antenna and software solutions. The EVK-NINA-B400 board has an open CPU NINA-B400 module and a U.FL antenna connector for external antennas. The EVK-NINA-B406 board comes with an open CPU NINA-B406 module with an internal PCB trace antenna.

The NINA-B4 evaluation boards allow quick prototyping of various extremely low-powered Internet of Things (IoT) applications using full BLUETOOTH® 5.1, NFC, and IEEE 802.15.4. These evaluation boards provide access to the 38 GPIO pins and interfaces supported on NINA-B4 modules. The NINA-B4 boards support interfaces available through various connectors, including Arduino™ Uno R3 and Raspberry Pi header connectors. These boards also provide simple USB drag-n-drop programming and a SEGGER J-Link debug interface that can be used with the open CPU variants of the EVK.
