About this RoadTest

 

WaRP7WaRP7 speeds and eases development of Internet of things and wearable devices by addressing technology challenges and freeing developers to focus on creating differentiated features. The platform consists of a main board and a daughter card. The main board is based on the NXP i.MX 7Solo applications processor that features an advanced implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, as well as the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core.

 

This unique heterogeneous multicore architecture enables low-power modes critical for most IoT end node and wearable designs, but also provides the power to drive a higher level operating system and a rich user interface. The daughter card is based on a flexible design with sensors to collect a range of data and the MikroBus™ expansion socket opens users to over 200 Click Boards™, allowing rapid prototyping across all potential wearable usage models. All components included in this system were selected based on low power, small form factor and cost.

 

WaRP7 has been architected and designed from the ground up to address the key challenges faced in the Internet of Things and wearables market, such as battery life, connectivity, user experience, and miniaturization. WaRP7 is an open source platform backed by the development community and design & manufacturing capabilities of element14.

 

Applications:

  • Internet of Things
  • Smart Home
  • Smart Cities
  • Smart Industry
  • Wearable
  • Activity Tracker

  • Thanks so much Randall,

     

    I can't wait to start testing. I am scheduled to teach embedded systems again in Spring semester. I will be able to tell my students (60 of them) about my progress.

     

    Thanks again,

    _TG

    Good morning, Randall

     

    This is fantastic news to wake up to! image

     

    I'm reviewing the specs of the NX7 and just keep thinking, "This is going to be FUN!!!" image

     

    I am truly honored and will do my best to develop as many things as I can! (And I think it's going to be so *easy* with this platform! It's really amazing.)

     

    Thank you so much!

    Randall,

     

    This is great news.  I can’t wait begin working on the device.  I haven’t done this before, so I’m not sure what the next step is.  What do you need me to do?

     

    Thanks!

  • Hello, I'm sorry to write so late, but I love the NXP development boards. My previous experience with the last one is with the FRDM KL-25Z. I developed quite some things with it, things like an opto triac, a volume measurer (all of this using sensors of course) and the last thing i did is a car with servo that can be distanced controlled and also has a self driving algorithm. WIth this new board I would like to built a system that measures my house's power consumption from all the electic and electronic devices and maybe even more, I would like for instance to start my car engine from my bed, because in the winter I have to let my car engine go for like 10 minutes to heat up the car and I want to do all of that from my bed, starting the engine from my bed, before getting up, dressing and going to the car.

  • This is a very nice module. I'll have to put my thinking cap on .... so many possibilities...
