Microchip AWS IoT Ethernet Development Kit LAN8740A, PIC32MZ2048EFH144 Development Kit DM990004

AWS IoT Ethernet Kit

The Microchip AWS IoT Ethernet Kit is a flexible IoT development platform that simply connects an Embedded System to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Server. The board communicates data generated by sensors or other sources to the Cloud Server via an Ethernet connection.

With the AWS IoT Ethernet Kit minimal set-up is required. The required firmware is preloaded onto the kit and can be developed utilising Microchip’s MPLAB Harmony IDE. The kit is also compatible with FreeRTOS, WolfMQTT and WolfSSL. The included firmware acts as an excellent base on which to develop custom IoT solutions.

The board is easily customised to explore different applications through a MikroElektronika mikroBUS™ socket. A wide range of differing sensor types or communication interfaces can be added by simply employing the appropriate MikroElektronika Click Accessory Board. On-board push buttons and a potentiometer can also be used to generate inputs.

The kit features the Microchip LAN8740A, a 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver. This device features deterministic loop-back delay, cable diagnostic support, Wake on LAN (WoL) support, HP Auto-MDIX support and flexible power management. A PIC32MZ Microcontroller is used to drive the LAN8740A.
