Mouser Electronics now shipping Murata IoT Solutions

Murata has partnered with Embedded Artists to integrate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth into existing NXP and Embedded Artists i.MX development kits. The i.MX platforms, based on Arm Cortex cores, are designed to bridge the gap between the performance of applications processors and the flexible usability of microcontrollers without increasing costs or power consumption. The combined products pair Murata's wireless modules - based on Cypress' robust Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combination devices - with a broad range of best-in-class processors from the NXP i.MX series.

The platform products give developers a broad range of scalable processing platforms including i.MX 6, i.MX 7 and i.MX 8 Series application processors and i.MX RT crossover processors. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity products from Cypress include 1×1 802.11bgn, 802.11abgn, 802.11ac, and 2×2 802.11ac, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 support.

For the NXP i.MX Platforms, the Murata uSD-M.2 Adapter connects to the microSD slot on the platform, which provides power and WLAN-SDIO. The Murata Adapter provides an M.2 connector, allowing application developers to connect the Embedded Artists Types 1DX, 1MW, 1LV, and 1CX M.2 EVBs, which provide IEEE 802.11/b/g/n and Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.

Each hardware platform and corresponding software is validated for a streamlined experience to shorten the design cycle. With direct access to necessary software in NXP's Linux board support package and MCUXpresso software development kit (SDK) plus Wi-Fi evaluation kits from NXP preferred partner Embedded Artists, the solutions support prototyping a diverse range of applications.
