MCU Family Adds Enhanced Bluetooth Features
NXP Semiconductors has announced the availability of new devices within its KW3x family of MCUs. The new KW39/38/37 MCUs add Bluetooth 5.0 long-range capabilities and expanded Bluetooth advertising channels. These enhancements are made with seamless compatibility with the previous generation of devices, KW34/35/36, says NXP.
Espressif Systems has launched an official development kit for building devices which are compatible with Apple HomeKit, on Espressif ‘s ESP32 and ESP32-S2 MCUs. Espressif’s development kit is available to all makers who wish to prototype non-commercial smart home accessories.
Cartesiam has announced a new release of its NanoEdge AI Studio optimized for the STM32 microcontroller development boards from STMicroelectronics (ST). Cartesiam’s NanoEdge AI Studio development environment removes traditional AI barriers and is designed for companies that do not have expert resources in machine learning.
Read. Learn. Build. And perhaps discover a new passion—or at least get a break from cabin fever. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve decided to offer 3 issues of our publications—Circuit Cellar and audioXpress—to everyone for free*.
MCU vendors continue to add more functionality, including advanced wireless connectivity, security, powerful motion control engines and more. This Datasheet feature is a product roundup of representative MCUs with links to their datasheets.
IAR Systems has announced the addition of support for a number of MCU devices from NXP Semiconductors within its security development tool C-Trust. This enhanced device support helps embedded developers to implement security, and ultimately helps meet new compliance standards from recent security legislations for IoT products that are already in development or production.
