1 min read
element14 has launched an open source, single board platform for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Suitable for Android and Linux development, the RIoTboard board is based on the Freescale i.MX 6Solo processor; using the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture to achieve speeds of up to 1GHz.
It also includes a Freescale Kinetis K20 mcu, Freescale MMPF0100 pmic, 1GB of 32bit wide ddr3 at 800MHz and 4GB eMMC.
"The hardware design has an optimised form factor, utilises one of the latest high performance multimedia processors and has been optimised for low power consumption," said Farnell cto David Shen. "Addressing these key design challenges upfront will reduce development time and time to market."
Other peripherals include a 10M/100M/Gb Ethernet port, one USB 2.0 OTG High Speed and four USB 2.0 High Speed 2.0 Hosts, LVDS, HDMI and Parallel RGB interfaces, micro TF and SD card interfaces, analogue headphone/microphone jacks, a camera interface, serial ports, JTAG and boot configuration interfaces.
