STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-PROTEUS1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation tool designed for temperature and vibration monitoring. It is based on a 2.4 GHz multi-protocol wireless system-on-chip (SoC) which is suitable for performing condition monitoring in industrial applications.

The evaluation board simplifies the prototyping, evaluation and development of wireless industrial sensor nodes used in predictive maintenance. All components are mounted on the top side of the PCB to provide for easy mounting on other equipment. Comprehensive software and firmware libraries implementing vibration analysis in the time and frequency domains ease software customization and shorten time-to-market.

The main board includes the STM32WB5MMG ultra-low power wireless radio module. This module is FCC and IC certified. Based on the STM32WB55VGY wireless SoC, it complies with the requirements of the Bluetooth® Low Energy SIG specification v5.2, ZigBee 3.0, and IEEE 802.15.4-2011. The main board includes an STSAFE-A110 secure element which provides authentication and secure data management services to a local or remote host.

The board also features an IIS3DWB high-bandwidth accelerometer, IIS2DLPC ultra-low power accelerometer, and the ISM330DHCX inertial motion sensing module for vibration monitoring.

An external memory is connected via QSPI to the STM32WB5MMG module for data buffering and event storage.

The STEVAL-PROTEUS board may be powered by the lithium polymer rechargeable battery. It can also be powered via USB, 5 V at 500 mA, or a primary battery which is not included.

Application example firmware with dedicated algorithms is preloaded in the STM32WB5MMG Flash memory for easy demonstration of wireless vibration and temperature node monitoring.

The STM32H7S78-DK Discovery Kit from STMicroelectronics is a complete demonstration and development platform for the Arm® Cortex®‑M7 core‑based STM32H7S series of microcontrollers.

The STM32H7S78-DK Discovery Kit includes a full range of hardware features which help the user to evaluate many peripherals, such as USB Type-C®, Octo‑SPI Flash memory and Hexadeca‑SPI PSRAM devices, audio codec, digital microphones, ADC, flexible extension connectors, and a user button. The four flexible extension connectors give easy expansion capabilities for applications such as wireless connectivity and sensors.

The STM32H7S7L8H6H MCU features three I2C buses, six SPI ports, three USART ports, two SDMMC ports, two CAN ports, an Ethernet port, two SAI ports, two 12‑bit ADCs, an embedded step-down converter, two Octo‑SPI memory interfaces, one Hexadeca‑SPI interface, USB OTG HS port with power delivery, LCD‑TFT controller, flexible memory controller, an 8‑ to 14‑bit DCMI interface, JTAG, and SWD debugging support.

The kit integrates an STLINK-V3EC embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for the STM32 MCUs with a USB Virtual COM port bridge. It is supplied with the comprehensive STM32 MCU software package.

Infineon

The KIT_XMC48_RLX_ECAT_V2.1 EtherCAT® evaluation kit from Infineon supports development based on the XMC4800, an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core-based microcontroller which includes an EtherCAT slave node. 

The Infineon ModusToolbox™ software supports application development on the evaluation kit by providing a board support package and validated code examples.

STMicroelectronics

STM32 Nucleo-64 boards from STMicroelectronics provide an affordable and flexible way for designers to try out new concepts and build prototypes based on the STM32U0 series of low-cost, low-power microcontrollers. Arduino Uno V3 connectivity support and ST morpho headers allow for easy expansion of the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.

STM32 Nucleo-64 boards do not require a discrete probe as the boards integrate an ST-LINK debugger/programmer.

The NUCLEO-U083RC Nucleo-64 board is supplied with the comprehensive and free STM32 software libraries and code examples available in the STM32Cube MCU package.

Infineon

The CY8CKIT-040T evaluation kit demonstrates the key capabilities of the PSoC™ 4000T series of microcontrollers. These newly introduced MCUs feature the fifth generation of Infineon’s CAPSENSE™ technology, which offers: 

  • Superior touch-sensing performance, with best-in-class sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, and high immunity to harsh environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture
  • Ultra low-power consumption for always-on sensing
  • Superior liquid tolerance – the CY8CKIT-040T kit can be dipped into liquids such as soapy water, seawater or mineral water up to the immersible line, or sprayed with liquid droplets without reporting any false touches
Microchip

The PIC16F131 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit from Microchip offers complete support for development with the PIC16F131 family of microcontrollers. With the award-winning MPLAB X integrated development platform and MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), the kit enables access to the configurable logic block (CLB) module and other core-independent peripherals on the PIC16F13145 MCU. 

MCC is a free, graphical programming tool that enables designers to configure a wide array of peripherals and functions tailored to the application.

The kit’s contents are a PIC16F13145 Curiosity Nano evaluation board, and two 100mil, 1×15-pin header strips.
