Intel ups software and design support to its Curie module at IDF 2015

Intel has announced a new reference designs and a new Intel software platform for its wearable electronics focused semiconductor device "Intel Curie module". Intel Curie module is a small footprint low power consuming SOC powered device designed not only for consumer applications and also for industrial electronics. Intel announced new details about the Intel Curie module. Curie supports some of the exclusive processing algorithms required for wearable devices such as pattern matching to analyse sensor data. Powered by the Intel Quark SE SoC, Curie module packs motion sensors, Bluetooth Low Energy, and battery charging support. Curie targets always-on/always aware kind of electronic devices used for health and wellness tracking, social notifications, and in sports. 384kB flash memory, 80kB SRAM is available inside this device along with integrated DSP sensor hub and pattern matching technology. Intel is offering reference design for enterprise wearables, which features enterprise grade security and consumer grade usability. The device allows the wearer to authenticate once on a phone or a PC and carry that authentication with them, enabling automatic login when in close proximity. The new Intel Software Platform designed to increase the speed and ease of the development of multiple types of wearable products. The software platform Apple iOS and Google'...
