Got my #NXP #NXPMCX A156! Any cool ideas on what to do with this? No wifi and low flash/ram but supposedly very good ADC (and PWM)

A development board from NXP, it has 5 sets of female jumper header with varying sizes and many components.

There are also two sets of unpopulated slots for more headers

TIP: If you plan to use Zephyr on an NXP platform and need any NXP specific boot stuff (like encryption and security), you need to use the NXP bootloader and not Zephyr MCUboot because NXP isn't upstreaming these things because NXP is still all about propriety crap 🤷‍♂️
