with the ARIS Board in 2016. The ARIS board (ARIS = Arrow Reloc IoT Synergy) is based on Renesas Synergy Platform that offers developers the benefit of qualified hardware and software with the S7 MCU running @ 240MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core and added also has a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope for position and motion sensing. Communication with other devices and the Cloud is enabled via an Ethernet 10/100 port, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.1/4.2) and Wi-Fi b/g/n support. NFC tag functionality is also included along with a crypto bootloader and support for over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. In Embedded World 2017 we have announce the ARISEDGE to accelerates IoT endpoint which lets designers accelerate development of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as smart sensors, wearables, small appliances and battery-powered health care devices or other types of endpoints. ARIS EDGE provides hardware and essential software components that enable teams to get prototypes running quickly and focus attention on application development. Optimised for power-constrained IoT-edge devices, it features a Renesas Synergy S124 32MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller. There is a rich set of integrated MEMS sensors fromBosch Sensortec, including the 9-axis Absolute Orientation sensor BNO055 and the environmental sensor BME280. The BNO055 is a System-in Package (SiP) solution and the first product in the family of Application Specific Sensor Nodes (ASSN), which integrates a BoschMEMS accelerometer, a gyroscope, a geomagnetic sensor and a 32-bit microcontroller running the Bosch Sensortec’s BSX3.0 FusionLib software. The sensor is suited for applications such as robotics, augmented and virtual reality, drones, gaming, as well as other industrial applications. The BME280 is developed specifically for loT applications where

for connected domestic IoT devices, benefiting from properties of Thread that help ensure reliable and secure communication, with high energy efficiency and easy interoperability. And now, the ARIS EDGE-S3 is an upgrade of the ARISEdge based on the newest Microcontroller from Renesas – The S3A3 MCU with enhance feature set and support for small form factor display with GUI enablement using the same Sensors and Wireless capabilities from the previous ARISEdge . This board have been develop with cooperation of Arrow and Reloc based on Italy.

size and low-power consumption are key design constraints. It integrates three sensors into one single package and enables the measurement of ambient temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. Support for wireless communication is also tailored to IoT-edge devices, comprising a multi-protocol radio module with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.1/4.2), Thread, and ZigBee stacks all built-in to provide flexible choices for connecting with other devices and the Cloud. The Thread stack allows ARIS EDGE to be used as a platform
