Anyone else find the lack of a MT3620 datasheet odd?

Fred27
Fred27 over 6 years ago

Considering the effort and expense that is being put into promoting the Avnet Azure Sphere MT3620 starter kit, does anyone else find it odd that the MT3620 datasheet is not publicly available? Sure we have example code and you can infer a lot from that, but as far as I can tell any proper information on the MT3620 is available only under NDA. (The M4F core datasheet is at least.)

 

I can understand that maybe not everything is appropriate to be public. It must also be tricky when there are multilple companies involved - the board manufacturers (Avnet et al.), the silicon manufacturer (MediaTek) and the ecosystem provider (Microsoft). However, if you're trying to encourage people to use a device then the more clear information and documentation you can provide the better the uptake is likely to be.

    MediaTek just released a non-NDA version of the MT3620 datasheet. It can be found here: http://avnet.me/mt3620-datasheet

    One again, not a data sheet for the chip - no details on theis document, just tells you how the chip is connected inside a module. What we need is a proper user manual/data sheet for the chip whcih ngives…

    It's amazingly weird. I though only Broadcom were that odd. Have you managed to get the data sheet or are they sniffy about who they sign up as well ? I've looked at the Microsoft Support Status document…

    But that isn't the whole data sheet.

    This seems to be the bit that gives you the electrical and physical details (which you need) but there is a lot more under NDA to explain how to actually work it.

    Hi Michael,

     

    I agree that there is a lot of details not included in this document.  We're working with the vendor to release more non-NDA documentation that should help fill the gaps.  We're working on getting the additional documentation released, but be aware this is a slow process.

    As stated in my recent post here, we are working with the chip manufacturer to provide additional information in the near future.

     

    In the meantime, please leverage the Microsoft provided example application and API documentation for your development work:
