SOC chip, software, and hardware development kit for wearable-design by MediaTek

After the Qualcomm’s turn, its now the MediaTek focusing on the wearable electronics market. MediaTek is making available chips, software, and hardware development kit for quickly designing the popular wearable devices. MediaTek is offering a new Hardware Development Kit and expanded it’s LinkIt development platform for RTOS. The new Hardware Development Kit is based on the MediaTek MT2523G Chipset. MT2523G has MCU, low power GNSS , dual mode Bluetooth, and a power management unit (PMU). The microcontroller unit is an ARM Cortex M4 with floating point MCU, integrated with 4MB PSRAM and 4MB flash memory. MT2523 provides interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, I2S, PWM, SDIO, MSDC, USB, PCMIF, ADC and dual digital MIC. The Hardware Development Kit is developed by Silicon Application Corp. The Kit with dual-mode Bluetooth, GPS support such as GNSS standards support can be used to design wearable devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, health monitors, and any such wearable devices including emergency locators. This 2nd new Kit for its LinkIt Development Platform for RTOS takes the support of the platform’s common tool chain and set of APIs. So that this common tool chain and set of APIs can be leveraged across. By using the MediaTek LinkIt SDK v4 on this HDK, the developers can develop the products which are smaller and efficient according to MediaTek. The new SDK i...
