NX15 Dev Kit Overview
The KORLINX NX15 Dev Kit is a compact development board for evaluating, prototyping, and developing applications with the NX15 Series BLE module.
It is designed to help developers quickly test BLE applications, validate onboard sensors, check user input/output behavior, and begin firmware development before moving to a custom product design.
This page describes the NX15 Dev Kit.
For module-level information such as model lineup, LGA pad layout, antenna design, electrical specifications, and soldering guidance, refer to the NX15 Module pages.
What Is the NX15 Dev Kit?
The NX15 Dev Kit is an evaluation and development board built around the NX15 Series BLE module.
It provides the hardware needed for early development, including USB connection, serial communication, debugging access, onboard sensors, buttons, LEDs, expansion headers, and battery-related hardware.
The board is intended for development and validation. It is not a replacement for the NX15 module datasheet or the final custom PCB design guide.
