Cortex®-M coprocessor development for NXP processors
----------------------------------------------------

Beside the Cortex®-A53 processor core, the i.MX 8M Mini/Nano application processors, provide a highly efficient low power
Cortex®-M4 or Cortex®-M7 core. This general purpose core for low power processing may increase the battery lifetime, which is an important benefit
for many mobile embedded devices.


NXP provides the MCUXpresso SDK to develop on the Arm® Cortex®-M side. The MCUXpresso SDK brings open source drivers, middleware, reference example applications
and documentation to speed up your software development.


.. admonition:: Warning
