u-blox EVK-NINA-B4 Evaluation Kits

u-blox EVK-NINA-B4 Evaluation Kits are versatile platforms that allow the prototyping of a variety of extremely low-powered IoT applications. The EVK-NINA-B4 features BLUETOOTH® 5.1, NFC, and IEEE 802.15.4, providing access to the 38 GPIO pins and interfaces supported on NINA-B4 modules. The EVK-NINA-B4 evaluation boards feature a dedicated USB connector for the NINA-B4 USB interface, simple USB drag-n-drop programming, and a SEGGER J-Link debug interface. These boards operate at a 1.7V to 3.6 V supply voltage range.
