TI has LaunchPad for the IoT
Texas Instrument's latest LaunchPad ecosystem – the Tiva C Series Connected LaunchPad – is designed to help engineers make the most out of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The platform features a TM4C1294NCPDT MCU with integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC+PHY.
TI says engineers and makers can use it to prototype a range of cloud enabled applications, bringing connectivity to any new or existing LaunchPad based application.
The platform can run multiple communication stacks simultaneously, allowing engineers to develop network gateways that can connect multiple endpoints to the cloud.
Example applications include sensor gateways, home automation controllers, industrial communication/control networks, cloud enabled gadgets/appliances.
Two BoosterPack XL plug-in interfaces are also included, which allow designers to connect to a range of compatible BoosterPacks to expand application reach with sensors, displays and wireless modules.
