Introducing Alico' s OMAP FPGA Sensor Development Kit Product Line

Alico Systems is introducing Kinetic 3500 (see data sheet) – The turn-key embedded development kit based on open-source software for Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 processor. Equipped with working applications and software drivers for onboard peripherals, Kinetic 3500 allows developers to focus time and resources on development of product differentiation features.  This reduces time learning the fundamentals of OMAP, writing basic software drivers, or getting up to speed on information about open source software. The kit is integrated with standard peripheral interfaces, GPS, gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer, and temperature sensors, enabling immediate evaluation and development of OMAP’s applications. The robust Web based GUI provides extensive diagnostic and configuration capabilities.  The onboard FPGA gives developers the capability to implement custom hardware functionality and signal processing algorithms without actual hardware redesign.  Flexibility and rapid prototyping offered by the FPGA provide added benefits to the overall product development cycle including minimal redesign of hardware, faster time-to-market, and field upgrades.  Alico Kinetic 3500 is an ideal platform for early and rapid prototyping.

Software Subscription for OMAP SDK

Alico's GrayFox 3500 (see data sheet) Software Subscription provides production quality source code software drivers for the sensory components including accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, temperature sensor, GPS, as well as OMAP general I/O interfaces like USB, I2C, SPI, and GPIO. GrayFox 3500 also comes with a web server that can deliver system information when queried by a standard web browser. The Web Server toolkits with source code for the web server and utilities for customize web page creation.
