WICED蓝牙SMART开发

赛普拉斯半导体公司的BCM9WICED_SENSE2
通过收购Broadcom的物联网业务，赛普拉斯半导体公司已成为物联网和嵌入式系统的领导者之一。
这对于物联网开发人员来说是幸运的，因为它为WICED技术开辟了更多途径。
WICED（发音为“wik-id”）是嵌入式设备的无线互联网连接的首字母缩写。
根据The Cypress IoT网站，ItiC消除了向应用程序添加无线功能的复杂性，并简化了添加云服务的过程，从而使客户能够专注于产品开发。
WICED SDK和EVK
WICED SDK已预先集成，预先测试并不断更新。
SDK将世界领先的物联网云平台与许可的生态系统库集成在一起。
此外，WICED API和驱动程序与经过验证的生产就绪堆栈相结合，可实现网络和安全性（以及其他），使无线连接变得简单。
在WICED SDK中有一系列小引脚兼容模块，称为WICED SMARTfamily，完全专注于蓝牙智能。
赛普拉斯WICED SMART评估套件（部件号BCM9WICED_SENSE2）提供了流畅的开箱即用开发体验。
该套件包括BCM20737L蓝牙低功耗SoC，以及STMicroelectronics的四个传感器，可通过智能手机上的WICED SENSE应用程序实时开发，调试和显示数据。
设备中包含的传感器是陀螺仪/加速度计，电子罗盘，压力和湿度/温度。
由于BCM20737L直接连接到传感器，因此无需外部微处理器。
SCM9WICED_SENSE2功能板载USB-UART桥接器，用于通过PC终端简化主机控制器接口（HCI），以及由SDK编程的EEPROM和串行闪存，用于自定义应用程序固件开发。
这一切都通过USB（+ 5V）或CR2032纽扣电池供电。
发展伙伴
由于WICED是设计人员开发物联网的简便方法，因此赛普拉斯已将此技术授权给许多模块和开发套件制造商。
合作伙伴包括Inventek Systems，Laird  -  Embedded Wireless Solutions，Murata，Particle，Zentri等。

Cypress Semiconductor's BCM9WICED_SENSE2
With the acquisition of Broadcom’s IoT business, Cypress Semiconductor has become one of the leaders in IoT and embedded systems. This is fortunate for IoT developers because it opens more avenues for WICED technology. WICED (pronounced “wik-id”) is an acronym for Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices. According to the Cypress IoT website WICED eliminates the complexity of adding wireless capabilities to an application and streamlines adding cloud services, which, in turn, allows customers to focus on product development.
WICED SDK and EVK
The WICED SDK is pre-integrated, pre-tested and continuously updated. The SDK integrates world leading IoT cloud platforms with licensed ecosystem libraries. Additionally, WICED APIs and drivers coupled with proven production ready stacks for networking and security (among others) makes wireless connectivity simple. Within the WICED SDK is a family of small pin compatible modules called the WICED SMART family focusing entirely on Bluetooth Smart. The Cypress WICED SMART Evaluation Kit, part number BCM9WICED_SENSE2, provides a smooth out-of-box development experience.
This kit includes the BCM20737L Bluetooth Low Energy SoC, as well as four sensors from STMicroelectronics which allow for development, debug, and display of data in real time with the WICED SENSE application on your smartphone. Sensors included in the device are a gyroscope/accelerometer, eCompass, pressure and humidity/temperature. No external microprocessor is required as the BCM20737L connects directly to the sensors. The SCM9WICED_SENSE2features on-board a USB-UART bridge for simplified Host Controller Interface (HCI) through a PC terminal, along with EEPROM and serial Flash programmed by the SDK for custom application firmware development. This is all powered via USB (+5V) or a CR2032 coin cell battery.
Development Partners
Since WICED is an easy way for designers to get in to developing for IoT, Cypress has licensed this technology to many module and development kit manufacturers. Partners include Inventek Systems, Laird – Embedded Wireless Solutions, Murata, Particle, Zentri, and more.
WICED Modules & Development Kit Partners
Cypress Portfolio
Alongside the WICED SMART Evaluation Kit, Cypress offers a solar-powered BLE Beacon Reference Design Kit (RDK). The CYALKIT-E02 helps designers develop tiny solar-powered IoT devices with BLE connectivity. The Sensor board itself is about the size of a quarter and operates with just solar energy which Cypress states is managed by the S6AE103 PMIC. Packaged in the RDK is the BLE-USB Bridge and Debug Board. Cypress has a BLE-Beacon app that is used to receive and visualize sensor data or beacon signals that are transmitted by the sensor. The app is available for iOS, Android and PC.
Conclusion
Cypress Semiconductor’s WICED SDK and ecosystem makes adding wireless to your IoT device easy. When utilized with partners who produce quality development boards, your IoT design can get to market more quickly.
