  • Native pin access through 1 x 20 and 2 x 50 male pin headers
  • 20-pin camera interface connector
  • MCU current measurement point 
  • Two user LEDs 
  • Power LED indicating availability of regulated power
  • Debug LED indicating the debug connection
  • One User button
  • One Reset button
  • Two Digilent Pmod™ connectors
  • Arduino UNO R3 connector
Microchip

The PIC32CK SG Curiosity Ultra kit from Microchip is a hardware development platform for designs using the PIC32CK SG, an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core-based microcontroller with Arm TrustZone technology and an integrated hardware security module (HSM). 

The HSM provides the cryptographic hardware acceleration, key storage, and true random number generation capabilities required for implementing a wide range of security functions, including: 

  • Secure boot
  • Secure TLS
  • Encryption/decryption

Developers can expand the Curiosity Ultra kit functionality through Arduino Uno R3, Mikroe Bus, or Xplained Pro-compatible expansion boards.

Key features of the board include: 

  • PIC32CK2051SG01144 MCU 
  • Real-time programming and debugging
  • Graphics interface
  • 100/10 Mbytes/s Ethernet
  • High-Speed USB Type-C® connection
  • Full-Speed USB connection

STMicroelectronics

The STM32U083C-DK Discovery kit from STMicroelectronics is a complete demonstration and development platform for the STM32U083MCT6 microcontroller. It may be used as a reference design for application development before porting to the final product.

The full range of hardware features on the board helps the designer to evaluate all the MCU’s peripherals including the USB 2.0 interface, segment LCD controller, capacitive touch-sensing channels, and temperature sensor. 

ARDUINO Uno V3, mikroBUS™ and extension connectors provide for easy connection to extension shields or application-specific daughterboards.

The STM32U083C-DK Discovery kit does not require any separate probe as it has an integrated STLINK-V2EC debugger/programmer. The kit  is operated by plugging it into a PC through a standard USB Type-A or USB Type-C®-to-USB Type-C cable.

The board is supported by the STM32CubeU0 embedded software package.

Microchip

The DT100104 from Microchip is an add-on board for the CryptoAuth Trust Platform and other Microchip development platforms that contain a mikroBUSTM header. The board can be used to develop prototypes for applications which use the ATECC608B or ATECC08C CryptoauthenticationTM secure elements. This board offers an alternative to sample units that require a socket board for initial development and testing.

The DT100104 board features eight ATECC608C secure elements which are specified to provide Trust&GO, TrustFLEX, TrustCUSTOM, and TrustMANAGER functions. The board is supported by a user guide which provides a physical overview of the connections and switch settings implemented on the board.

Renesas

Renesas offers the RRH62000-EVK evaluation kit for the RRH62000 all-in-one integrated sensor module for critical air quality measurements. These measurements include particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds, indoor air quality index, equivalent CO2, temperature and relative humidity in a 46.6 mm x 34.8 mm x 12 mm package.

The RRH62000-EVK comprises the RRH62000 sensor module, an ESCom board, a USB cable and a quick-start guide. When the RRH62000 module is interfaced with the ESCom board, it becomes easy to connect to a Windows PC for plug-and-play evaluation using the provided software.
