In this 30 minute webinar, MediaTek Labs technical consultant Philip Handschin demonstrated how to get started with the LinkIt 7687 HDK by SAC, enabling developers to then rapidly prototype power efficient IoT devices with secure Wi-Fi connectivity.
The new MediaTek LinkIt™ Development Platform for RTOS is based on ARM Cortex-M4 MCU architecture and provides leading features for the creation of connected appliances, home and office automation devices, smart gadgets, and IoT bridges. Supporting a range of chipsets (initially the MediaTek MT7687F), LinkIt for RTOS offers the convenience of a single toolset and common API implemented over a popular RTOS. With this you can achieve economies across a full range of consumer and business IoT devices. The platform consists of a Software Development Kit (SDK), Hardware Development Kits (HDKs), including modules from supply chain partners, and related technical documentation.
The first release of the platform supports the MediaTek MT7687F Wi-Fi SOC which has a 192 MHz MCU, 1×1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi subsystem, integrated security engine (AES and 3DES/SHA), embedded SRAM/ROM and 2MB flash. The new platform uses FreeRTOS with open-source modules for TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, HTTP (client and server), SNTP, DHCP daemon, MQTT, XML and JSON. Development and debugging is supported by free command line tools, plus a KEIL plug-in.
