Development kit merges GPS, MCU and cellular modem for location-aware projects
The C027 delivers out-of-the-box wireless internet connectivity based on a compact u-blox 2G, 3G or CDMA cellular modem plus global positioning module. Together with the ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit processor and access to all the resources of the ARM mbed project, the kit enables developers to quickly move prototypes of intelligent ARM-based technology into production-ready designs.
The C027 kit measures 54 x 98mm, it contains a u-blox “SARA” GSM or “LISA” UMTS/CDMA cellular modem, a “MAX” GPS/GNSS positioning module, and an ARM 32-bit Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 512k of Flash Memory and 64kB RAM, user-programmable via USB. CAN bus and Ethernet interfaces are provided. The board also provides direct connector with 22 GPIOs to access components via I2C, SPI, UART, and I2S digital audio. The hardware is supported by the open-source ARM mbed development platform (https://mbed.org) which provides free software libraries, hardware designs and online tools for professional and rapid prototyping of ARM-based designs.
