These boards allow you to develop IoT projects easily and quickly.
RS Components distributes the IoT Creator Ci40 and Ci20 development boards from Imagination Technologies. Creator Kits include the hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure to quickly build a wireless IoT system. The IoT framework of these boards is based on open industry standards, supported by an ecosystem that includes software and reference projects available at creatordev.io. The Creator Ci40 board is a high-performance, low-power consumption microcomputer that features an optimized subsystem specifically for developing IoT applications.
It features a CXT200 Dual Core processor running at 550 MHz along with the Ensigma connectivity engine, including super-fast 802.11ac 2×2-MIMO Wi-Fi, as well as Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth BLE. In addition to the computer board, the “all-inclusive” Ci40 kit offers two battery-operated MIKROE 6LoWPAN Clicker expansion boards with a mikroBUS™ socket, which allow the addition of sensors, as well as three accessory Click boards, which provide rs-components.com respectively a temperature sensor, a motion sensor and a relay switch. The Creator Ci20 board is powered by Ingenic Semiconductor's dual-core 4780GHz JZ1,2 mobile application processor, which runs at 1,2GHz and offers great multimedia capabilities.
The JZ4780 SoC integrates a dual-core MIPS CPU from Imagination as well as the company's PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing engine, supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics and video decoding up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. The board also offers 1 Gb of RAM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a whole host of peripherals, including GPIO, SPI, I2C, ADC, and UART interfaces, allowing great flexibility for IoT project development. The Ci20 is compatible with a wide range of Android operating systems, including KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow, along with a wide variety of Linux distributions, and ships with Debian installed. The Ci40 is also compatible with a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux distributions such as OpenWrt and Debian, as well as Brillo, Google's IoT-optimized operating system. Applications: IoT development, home automation, remote control of Wi-Fi devices, 6LoWPAN, Bluetooth and gateways connected by Ethernet.
