SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...

MikroElektronika has announced a shield board that adapts its Click modules to Red Pitaya, the FPGA software-defined instrument and development tool, “The size of a credit card, Red Pitaya combines the functionalities of oscilloscope, signal generator and spectrum analyzer with programming capabilities and open-source software,” said MikroE. There are two sockets for Click boards (each with switchable 3.3 and 5V ...

Rutronik has created a smart motor drive evaluation board that combines an Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU with CAN and LIN interfaces – with all of its parts available in automotive-qualified form. Called RDK4 and measuring 48 x 115mm, it is “integrated into Infineon’s ModusToolbox development environment, where software examples are available”, said component distributor Rutronik, which has built the board around ...

Infineon will be revealing two internet-connected sensor evaluation kits at the Electronica exhibition in Munich, one for 60GHz radar and one for CO2 sensing. The company has made the sensor board part of these kits compatible with AdaFruit’s ‘Wing’ format which plugs into processor boards with AdaFruit’s ‘Feather’ pin layout. Infineon has adopted the Wing format for a planned series ...

Renesas has introduced a prototyping board for its 48MHz Arm Cortex-M23 based R7FA2E1A93CFM microcontroller. The board, called RA2E1 Fast Prototyping Board, “features a built-in emulator circuit equivalent to an E2 emulator Lite allowing users to write and debug programs without requiring any additional tools,” according to distributor Anglia, which is stocking the boards. It also has Arduino Uno and Pmod ...

MikroElektronika has released its 8th generation of development board for rapid prototyping. Uni-DS v8 uses swappable boards for both microcontroller and peripherals, with its SiBrain-branded collection offerign a choice of MCU families including STM32, Kinetis, TIVA, CEC, MSP, PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR. To add peripherals, there are five sockets for the company’s Click boards, of which there are now at ...

STMicroelectronics has announced STM32Cube software packs and tools, as well as evaluation boards, for the low-power cyber-secured STM32U5 microcontrollers it announced in February, and are now available through distribution. Built around Arm’s Cortex-M33 core on a 40nm process, the devices have a new mode (low-power background autonomous – LPBAM – mode) that lets direct memory access and key peripherals operate without CPU ...

Bosch has created an evaluation board that links sensors to hosts using Bluetooth. Called ‘Application Board 3.0’, is can be powered though a lithium-ion battery, and so can stand in for a wireless sensor node. The board, which is 47 x 37 x 7mm, does not have its own sensors (except for temperature), and instead carries a socket for standard format ...

FTDI Chip has now announced a development board for USB Power Delivery, centred around its FT4233HP multi-channel interface ICs. The 138 x 77mm board has a pair of Type-C power delivery ports – one that can both sink (receive) and source (provide) power, and another that can only sink power. “The FT4233HP high-speed USB serial and FIFO evaluation board will enable ...

MikroElektronika has redesigned its development board for all Microchip PIC, dsPIC, PIC24, PIC32 microcontrollers around its own interchangeable add-on board formats, including ‘SiBrain’ MCU boards. Called ‘Fusion for PIC v8’, it has five mikroBus ‘Click’ peripheral  expansion sockets (photo right) – Click is another MikroE format, there are over 1,000 to choose from. Display board sockets allow four different sizes of TFT ...
