Arrow Electronics has announced the
introduction of the ARIS Board, a
ready-to-use Internet of Things (IoT)
hardware and software solution. ARIS
is the acronym for Arrow Renesas
IoT Synergy, therefore showing the
close cooperation between Arrow
Electronics and Renesas and their
Renesas Synergy™ development
platform. The newly announced IoT
Board is to enable users to develop
their applications quickly and easily, in
order to bring them to market in the
shortest time possible. The ARIS Board
was developed by the Italian company
RELOC which focuses on embedded
designs and the vertical integration
of IoT applications. In addition to
the development and production of
the Board, RELOC also dealt with the
implementation of the drivers and
the generation of the middleware for
designs by offering a faster and easier
launch into the development process
with a fully qualified and optimum
hardware and software solution
that boosts innovation and product
differentiation.
The system is built around a Renesas
S7G2 high-performance MCU, as is
shown in Fig. 1. The microcontroller
unit consists of a 240 MHz ARM
Cortex-M4 embedded processor with
a 4 MB flash memory and a 640 KB
SRAM. Furthermore it is provided with
a 512 MB serial flash, a 256 MB SDRAM
memory, and an additional microSD
card slot. The three-axis acceleration
sensor and the two-axis gyroscope
supply information with regard to the
position and movement of the Board.
These sensors can be activated via
an SPI connection. Further sensors
