Cypress launches IoTAdvantEdge solution for IoT developers

Cypress Semiconductor Corp., the world's leading provider of embedded solutions, today announced that it has launched a new shortcut for IoT developers to facilitate the creation of high-quality, safe, and reliable IoT products. The solution is called IoT-AdvantEdge? And includes the collaboration of connecting chips, microcontrollers (MCUs), software, development tools and support, and ecological partners. Its goal is to reduce the number of key IoT device design issues by reducing Development complexity. With IoT-AdvantEdge, enterprises can overcome the challenges of wireless connectivity, hardware device and cloud security, power consumption, device management and maintenance, high integration, ease of use, human-machine interface, platform maintenance capabilities, etc. Safe and high-quality products are introduced to the market.

Cypress President and CEO Hassane El-Khoury said: "Building intelligent, connected IoT edge computing products is extremely challenging. It is necessary to make wireless connections and embedded systems work together, but also deal with system security. , Cloud integration, energy efficiency management and other issues, all of which consume a lot of time and cost. Cypress is committed to solving the problems encountered by everyone, we will face this challenge, and continue to expand our solutions to support enterprises faster To bring high-quality, safe and reliable products to the market. IoT-AdvantEdge integrates powerful basic building blocks of IoT hardware and software, simplifying the product development process. "

Cypress's IoT-AdvantEdge solution includes:

• Chip: Cypress has a unique combination of microcontroller (MCU), Wi-Fi, Classic Bluetooth / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), they can work together to support everything from battery-powered cameras to medical The demand for all kinds of Internet of Things products. In addition, they also integrate hardware and software security and powerful communication technologies, and are used in many of the most sophisticated IoT products.

• Software: Powerful software is the basis for building high-quality, safe and reliable products. Cypress software is built specifically for the Internet of Things. The ModusToolbox? Development tool chain works with RTOS microcontrollers (MCUs) such as PSoC ?, which greatly simplifies the development of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BT / BLE) IoT products. ModusToolbox middleware can help companies connect their products to leading cloud software platforms or proprietary cloud services on public / private cloud infrastructure. In addition, Cypress's contribution to the Linux kernel open source is also an important reason why our Wi-Fi and Bluetooth products are widely used by IoT developers.

• Development tools and support: A comprehensive set of development tools and support is critical to effectively solve the challenges of IoT product design. Cypress's development tools include low-power assistants, multi-RF co-existence, security certification, and OTA upgrades, which can significantly reduce the time and cost required to bring high-quality products to market. The cloud-based analysis platform "Internet of Things Network Intelligence (INI)" provided by Cirrent (a subsidiary of Cypress) can provide IoT products with unprecedented insights into connection, network and other product performance parameters. Cypress engineers have been passionate about supporting the IoT developer community and customers, helping them to meet the challenges encountered in the process of building IoT products.

• Collaboration of ecological partners: The creation of IoT products usually requires extensive supply chain ecology collaboration. Cypress pre-integrated services from many ecological partners such as cloud service providers, specific-use semiconductor products, application developers, etc., to help companies bring their IoT products to market faster.

As part of the IoT-AdvantEdge launch event, Cypress has also launched many new IoT products and resources, including:

• New Microcontroller (MCU): Cypress's PSoC 6 MCU series of products has added two new configurations, namely: to provide new memory options for the PSoC 62 MCU and PSoC 64 Secure MCU product lines. Among them, one has high-performance, M4F / M0 dual-core architecture, 2MBFlash and 1MBSRAM; the other is more cost-effective, with 512KBFlash and 256KB SRAM. Two new configurations allow companies to be more flexible in choosing the right configuration for IoT applications.
