WiFi for uCMK60 VoIP and IoT microcontroller platform

Arcturus Networks made available an accessory pack for the uCMK60-VoIP development kit platform. The accessory pack contains two hardware daughtercards that can be plugged into existing uCMK60-SSB-DEV hardware boards. The daughtercards can be used to extend network connectivity to support 802.11b/g/n wireless or add additional push-button inputs and LED outputs. The uCMK60-VoIP is a specialized development platform for IoT applications that require a combination of control and voice or distributed audio communication. It is built using a Freescale Kinetis K60 ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. The solution includes a full SIP VoIP stack and Arcturus Mbarx-M2M firmware, which provides a simple character driven protocol via a TCP/IP socket or UART interface, making it possible to operate, manage and query the device using local or global networks. By using the TCP/IP socket interface Mbarx makes it possible to develop system-level applications that can control networks of devices. Conversely, using Mbarx on the UART interface makes it possible to integrate the uCMK60 into an existing system or control it using a simple MCU. Mbarx firmware also supports a “peripheral on-boarding” capability enabling the network addressing of attached sensors or peripheral devices via the network connection.
