Development kit targets consumer-ready wearable and IoT devices
The LinkIt Assist 2502 consists of four feature-rich components: a Software Development Kit (SDK) plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, C-based application programming interface (API), a Hardware Development Kit (HDK), and a module-based hardware reference design to help simplify component integration.
The LinkIt Assist 2502 SDK puts an emphasis on features such as enhanced graphics, image decoder, vector fonts (powered by Etrump) and LCD and touchscreen support. Additionally, developers will benefit from advanced features such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) support for web services authentication, Smart Connection API for Wi-Fi configuration, a notification library for iOS and Android, and over-the-air application and firmware update capability.
The LinkIt Assist HDK is designed to build commercial-ready prototypes and delivers a complete package in the form of the LinkIt Assist 2502 development board from Seeed Studio and LinkIt Assist 2502 modules from AcSiP. The module-based approach makes it easier to get access to MediaTek chipset technology and simplifies final hardware design for developers. The high performance development board comes with three modules based on MediaTek chipsets, including the MT2502 (Aster) SoC (for GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth 2.1/4.0) and its energy-efficient MT5931 Wi-Fi and MT3332 GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/Beidou) companion chipsets, giving developers a broad range of features in a single board. The development board also comes equipped with a swappable 240×240 16-bit color touch LCD.
