Adafruit Metro M7 with AirLift - Featuring NXP iMX RT1011

Get ready for our fastest Metro ever. The NXP iMX RT1011 microcontroller powers this board with a blazing 500 MHz ARM Cortex M7 processor. There's 8 MB of QSPI for firmware and disk storage, plus 128KB of in-chip SRAM, while an on-board ESP32 module serves as a WiFi co-processor.

The iMX series, known for being featured in the Teensy 4 dev board series, offers pure performance and exceptional speed. This Metro-shaped board allows the use of many Arduino shields and is fully open-source, enabling custom adaptations. A USB drag-and-drop bootloader and CircuitPython support make development seamless for both beginners and experts, offering low cost, ample memory, and a solder-free quick start.

Specifications include 6-12VDC barrel jack or USB type C power options, AirLift WiFi co-processor with TLS/SSL support, and an 8MB QSPI XIP Flash ESP32 WiFi co-processor. Users can enjoy the flexibility of a UNO-shape design and a reset button for easy reboots. Other features are boot-mode switches, SWD connectors for advanced debugging, and STEMMA QT connectors. Size and weight are compact at 53.2mm x 72mm and 22.5g, respectively.
