Manage the IoT on an Energy Budget​part 2

Arrow Electronics has announced the introduction of the ARIS Board, a ready-to-use Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and software solution. ARIS is the acronym for Arrow Renesas IoT Synergy, therefore showing the close cooperation between Arrow Electronics and Renesas and their Renesas Synergy™ development platform. The newly announced IoT Board is to enable users to develop their applications quickly and easily, in order to bring them to market in the shortest time possible. The ARIS Board was developed by the Italian company RELOC which focuses on embedded designs and the vertical integration of IoT applications. In addition to the development and production of the Board, RELOC also dealt with the implementation of the drivers and the generation of the middleware for 50

designs by offering a faster and easier launch into the development process with a fully qualified and optimum hardware and software solution that boosts innovation and product differentiation. The system is built around a Renesas S7G2 high-performance MCU, as is shown in Fig. 1. The microcontroller unit consists of a 240 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 embedded processor with a 4 MB flash memory and a 640 KB SRAM. Furthermore it is provided with a 512 MB serial flash, a 256 MB SDRAM memory, and an additional microSD card slot. The three-axis acceleration sensor and the two-axis gyroscope supply information with regard to the position and movement of the Board. These sensors can be activated via an SPI connection. Further sensors mounted on the Arrow ARIS Board
