The Adafruit Metro M7 with microSD is powered by the NXP iMX RT1011 ARM Cortex M7 processor running at 500 MHz — the fastest Metro board available. With 8 MB of QSPI flash, 128 KB SRAM, a built-in microSD card slot, and the standard Metro/UNO shield-compatible form factor, this board delivers exceptional performance for CircuitPython development and advanced embedded projects.

The microSD slot provides convenient removable storage for audio files, images, scripts, or data logging. The board is fully open source and supports CircuitPython out of the box, with no soldering required to get started. For WiFi connectivity, see the Metro M7 with AirLift.
