CPU enables M2M & IoT applications
An ARM-based embedded CPU, which enables M2M and IoT applications, has been introduced by Eurotech. Based on the Freescale i.MX 6 series processor, the CPU-351-13 delivers high performance in a small form factor. Operating at speeds of up to 1.2GHz, the processor enables outstanding power efficiency and heat management. The device is particularly suitable for retail kiosk displays, medical equipment and control panels for fitness equipment.
The CPU features the Everyware Software Framework (ESF) and the Everyware Cloud Client. Therefore, any device using this platform is Everyware Cloud-enabled, making it suitable for the IoT. Allowing devices based on the CPU-351-13 to be remotely managed, the ESF also reduces operational costs.
“CPU-351-13 is an IoT building block that combines Freescale i.MX 6 series processor technology with Eurotech’s design expertise to give customers an application-ready embedded platform that makes it easy to exploit the full capability of the module,” said Alex Dopplinger, Industrial Business Development Manager, Freescale. “Eurotech has shown their commitment to enabling M2M/IoT applications and recently moved up as a Freescale Connect Proven Partner to work with us more closely in this space. We look forward to partnering with Eurotech to bring IoT-enabling embedded computing platforms and multi-service gateways to businesses of all sizes.”
“The latest SBC from Eurotech, the CPU-351-13, exploits the features of the Freescale i.MX 6 series processor and is ESF and Everyware Cloud-ready, allowing customers to conceive and build devices that aggregate and analyse data to feed into cloud-based storage and analysis systems and create business intelligence quickly and easily,” said Larry Wall, CEO, Eurotech. “Our solutions are designed to speed time-to-market and empower businesses in many industries to set up valuable M2M and IoT applications and connect to the IoT.”
