Imagination Technologies is introducing a new development kit that has been designed from the ground-up for IoT applications. It is called Creator Ci40 and includes all the optimized hardware and open source software required for next-generation connected projects.
Creator Ci40 is a modular system that is easy to assemble and even easier to code. Developers can use it to prototype the hardware needed for an IoT application in five easy steps: https://youtu.be/8DpZlxtOIJQ
The new Creator comes in a compact box with everything needed to build the next wireless IoT application including:
The new Creator comes in a compact box with everything needed to build the next wireless IoT application including:
‧ Hardware
o A high-performance, low-power microcomputer acting as an IoT hub and featuring a new MIPS-based chip optimized for IoT applications; the microcomputer can run a number of Linux-based operating system, including OpenWrt, Debian as well as Brillo from Google
o Two battery-powered 6LoWPAN Clicker expansion boards with a mikroBUS socket for adding sensors
o Three Click companion boards – a temperature sensor, a motion sensor and a relay switch (with hundreds more available from MikroElektronika)
‧ Software
o FlowCloud: a complete cloud platform for connecting devices to the internet, enabling easy product registration and updates as well as access to partner-enabled services
o Open source software frameworks, network stacks and cloud connectivity
