Renesas has released an IoT system design platform that it says will significantly simplify the prototyping of IoT systems.

The Quick-Connect IoT system consists of standardised boards and interfaces, enabling designers to connect a wide range of sensors to MCU development boards. The new system also delivers core software building blocks that are portable between boards, greatly reducing coding requirements.

In developing the Quick-Connect IoT system, Renesas has worked with Digilent, in creating a new expanded I2C Pmod Interface, Type 6A, for wider coverage and added flexibility. Renesas has chosen to standardise on the new Pmod 6A connector from Digilent for new sensor Pmods and MCU development kits. This will allow designers much greater flexibility in selecting the optimal combination for any IoT prototype design. MCU boards will have two Pmod connectors, one for a sensor Pmod, and another for a communications module. The Pmods can also be cascaded for even greater flexibility.
