The development kits include a desktop base station with the same functionality as a commercial grade base station. The SDK incorporates an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU with 128KBytes of flash memory. The kit also includes supporting software tools, Simplicity Studio and a GNU C Compiler (GCC), together with a complete user guide.
Weightless CEO, William Webb, said: “We’re keen to see LPWAN projects commence rapidly so to celebrate the launch we’re making it easy to engage with Weightless technology by offering a limited number of kits available for free.”
Yury Birchenko, CEO of Nwave Technologies, added: “We’re very excited to offer developers the opportunity to start designing their next IoT product immediately. We are engaging with a significant, diverse and global community of developers who have eagerly awaited the launch of a Weightless development environment”.
