Introduction
The
AVR-IoT WA Development Board is a small and
easily expandable demonstration and development platform for IoT solutions. Based on the
AVR
® microcontroller architecture and using Wi-Fi
® technology, it is designed to demonstrate that
the design of a typical IoT application can be simplified by partitioning the problem
into three blocks:
- Smart – represented by the ATmega4808 microcontroller
- Secure – represented by the
ATECC608A secure element
- Connected – represented by the
WINC1510 Wi-Fi controller module
The
AVR-IoT WA Development Board features the
following elements:
- The PICkit™ On-Board (PKOB nano)
supplies full programming and debugging support through Atmel
Studio/MPLAB® X IDE Communication Library. It also provides
access to a serial port interface (serial to USB bridge) and two logic analyzer
channels (debug GPIO)
- On the PC, the on-board debugger
acts as a mass storage interface device for easy drag-and-drop programming,
Wi-Fi configuration, and full access to the microcontroller application Command
Line Interface (CLI)
- A mikroBUS™ socket allows for expansion of the board capabilities with
the selection from 450+ sensors and actuators options offered by
MikroElektronika (www.mikroe.com) via a growing portfolio
of Click boards™
- A light sensor used to
demonstrate published data
- Microchip MCP9808 high-accuracy
temperature sensor used to demonstrate published data
- Microchip MCP73871 Li-Ion/LiPo
battery charger with power path management
