NXP Delivers Secure, Scalable Edge-Connected Platforms Based on its i.MX RT Crossover Processors and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Solution...
21 Julio 2020 - 8:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that its
Wi-Fi® and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® combos and i.MX RT MCU crossover
processors are now supported within its MCUXpresso software,
which dramatically simplifies product development. With this new
level of integration, NXP expands the connectivity capabilities of
its EdgeVerse™ edge computing and security platform. By
pre-integrating driver support within the MCUXpresso SDK, NXP is
providing developers with flexible and scalable platforms to help
accelerate compliance, significantly shorten time-to-market, and
streamline Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo deployments. These new
platforms make it possible to mix and match the right MCU with the
right Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo devices, providing developers
with the flexibility needed to meet the performance and power
requirements of their IoT, industrial, automotive, and
communications infrastructure applications.
“With this new connected-edge platform, NXP continues to deliver
on its investments in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth by providing developers
with the flexibility to easily pair our i.MX RT MCUs and advanced
connectivity solutions for more seamless and cost-effective
implementations,” said Ron Martino, senior vice president and
general manager of Edge Processing with NXP. “This new integration
brings a one-stop-shop approach to platform development with NXP’s
highly differentiated offerings that are fully tested and
certified, allowing developers to easily and quickly deploy
wireless devices at scale.”
Rich MCUXpresso SDK Enablement Tools NXP has
pre-integrated its Wi-Fi/Bluetooth drivers and communications
stacks around FreeRTOS, targeting i.MX RT crossover processors to
simplify and accelerate application development. By using the
MCUXpresso SDK, developers can easily combine wireless connectivity
with AI/machine learning capabilities, display controllers, and
graphics accelerators integrated into the i.MX RT family. The
pre-integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth drivers have been verified and
tested to deliver several useful examples, including:
- iPerf utility to test device-to-device performance
- Wi-Fi Direct to scan and connect mobile devices to
networks
- Command Line Interface (CLI) to set Wi-Fi parameters and
network properties and experiment with various Wi-Fi
settings/parameters
- Use case development for IoT, industrial, automotive and
communication infrastructure applications
- Amazon Web Services to use as a framework for IoT products as
well as device, gateway, phone and cloud connection examples
Module Partners – The Path to ProductionNXP has
partnered with leading module vendors, around the world, including
Azurewave, Murata, Panasonic, and u-blox to deliver fully
certified, platform-integrated modules for developer designs. With
additional partners being added throughout the year, NXP’s broad
range of module suppliers add more flexibility for developers to
choose the best module for their application and reduce the design
complexity, development costs and the time to
certification.
“We are excited to be collaborating with NXP to launch a
complete portfolio of Wi-Fi combo modules that are certified and
fully tested by Azurewave’s state-of-art manufacturing facility for
high-quality assurance,” said Milton Hsieh, VP of Global Sales and
Marketing at Azurewave Technologies Inc. “By combining the power of
NXP’s connectivity and processing platforms, our flexible OTS
modules will help customers develop products more easily, achieve
faster time-to-market, and save valuable resources.”
“Murata has a long-standing, successful relationship with NXP in
delivering game-changing solutions,” said Akira Sasaki, GM of
Connectivity Module Marketing Department, Murata. "Through this
collaboration, Murata’s new 8801-based module with a built-in
antenna eases the regulatory certification burden and significantly
shortens time-to-market for connected products. As a module
technology leader, we deliver the expertise and breadth of IoT
products that enable mass-market adoption."
“Panasonic chose NXP’s 88W8977 SoC for the PAN9026 module due to
its combination of the most important short-range wireless
technologies in one chip,” said Mathias Hopp, business group leader
for Wireless Connectivity with Panasonic. “Engineered in Germany
and manufactured in Slovakia, our module can provide our customers
the flexibility [needed] for a wide range of wireless
applications.”
“We are very excited to be working with NXP. Integrated into
NXP’s MCUXpresso SDK and i.MX RT MCUs, u-blox' out-of-the-box
wireless modules will lower complexity and barriers and enable the
efficient development of numerous devices and IoT applications,”
said Håkan Svegerud, Senior Director at u-blox. “Our professional
grade modules, fully tested and globally certified, guarantee
shorter time-to-market and cost savings. This means designers can
focus on the core value of the device, while easily adding wireless
connectivity.”
AvailabilityThe i.M RT crossover family is the
first of several MCU product lines to be supported by NXP’s Wi-Fi
and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo connectivity solutions, which are now
available through NXP’s module partners and through NXP’s global
mass market and distribution network, including Arrow, Avnet,
Future, EBV, Mouser, Digikey, E14, and WT Micro. Support for i.MX
platforms running Linux and Android will be available later this
year. Learn more at nxp.com/wifibluetooth.
