IoT evaluation environment

Customized prototyping as easy as plug & play

If everything in this increasingly digitalized world is supposed to get easier and faster, why should then the same not also apply to prototyping? Now that “smart” is taking our homes and work places by storm, IoT applications multiply as one speaks. And as a matter of fact more variety leads to more complexity. But no longer for development and evaluation environments. With Infineon’s Shield2Go boards and the My IoT adapter prototyping becomes as easy as plug & play. Why this concept reduces your time to market, maximizes flexibility, and leaves you with lower cost? The right combination of hardware from Infineon and software from Arduino makes the difference. Continue reading to gain an all-embracing insight into the new customized prototyping.

Plug & play prototyping – The concept (shortens the time to market for those with limited resources)

Particularly for the start-up designer community with limited resources facing the challenge of having to compete with industry giants Infineon’s new prototyping concept will be game-changing. The formula is simple as it builds on the plug&play-approach: the boards are reusable, flexibly combinable, and hence allow for a fast and efficient set-up of the demonstration and evaluation environment. All that is needed: a hard- and software package composed of Infineon’s Shield2Go boards and the My IoT adapter complemented by
software for Arduino.

Now designers can accelerate the development of their own customized system solutions by selecting and combining Shield2Go boards in multiple ways based on their needs and use cases. The Shield2Go boards are equipped with a particular type of featured Infineon components. They provide a standardized form factor and pin layout for fast orientation. In addition, the boards have solderless connectors which allow designers to stack the boards instead of soldering. A dedicated ready-to-use, free of charge Arduino library for each Shield2Go offers the software necessary to fully evaluate the intended designs and functionalities.

My IoT adapter boards enable designers to combine the Shield2Go boards into a system and to easily connect to external systems.

Needless to say, this compound of flexible hardware components and accompanying software speeds up the prototyping process. Turning back to the beginning, faster prototyping results in faster time to market, what eventually translates into your competitive advantage. Team-up with Infineon now!

Key features & benefits of Infineon’s new prototyping concept (systems consisting of reusable, flexibly combinable hardware blocks)

With its semiconductors Infineon is a major contributor to sustainable and stable IoT environments. However, we know that providing solutions for advanced sensing capabilities (incl. data collection through sensors), control and processing (microcontrollers), security, and efficient power management does not yet effectively create the IoT applications of the future. That is where you come in with your ideas, creativity and motivation to turn the world into an ever smarter place.

Besides delivering our state-of-the-art products, there is more that we can do for you. We identified a way to change prototyping from a resource intensive burden into an easy-to-accomplish task resulting in a unique evaluation experience.
