TI samarbejder med Microsoft om IoT-udvikling

Texas Instruments lancerer nye evauleringskit baseret på embedded processorer, der supporterer Microsoft Azure IoT-suiten (in english).

As one of the first semiconductor vendors with certified wireless microcontroller- (MCU) and processor-based evaluation kits ready to work with the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, TI is uniquely positioned to help developers begin IoT application development within minutes.

The Microsoft Azure IoT Suite’s agent code has been pre-ported to TI’s low-power SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU LaunchPad kit and Sitara AM335x processor-based BeagleBone Black and BeagleBoard Green kits. Developers can expect additional certifications of TI products in the coming months.

The Microsoft program verifies that a member’s hardware is compatible with Azure IoT Suite and enables developers who have purchased TI’s low-cost development kits to easily download the appropriate Microsoft Azure for IoT agent to quickly connect to the cloud.

- We are pleased to include Texas Instruments as one of the first members of Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT to allow customers to build TI-based cloud-connected products faster and easier, says Barb Edson, General Manager for Data Platform and Internet of Things, Microsoft.

- Building on today’s certifications, we are committed to working closely with Texas Instruments on industrial, automotive and consumer applications. certified for Microsoft Azure IoT Suite.

TI-based kits verified for Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT includes:
• SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU LaunchPad kit, that enables a low power and secure connection to the cloud.

• BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Black board based on TI’s Sitara AM335x processor with a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 core, that supports Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi connectivity through TI’s WiLinkTM 8 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo connectivity modules. 

• SeeedStudio BeagleBone Green board based on the BeagleBone Black, that adds easy connection to a large family of Grove sensors.
