WaRP7 – A New Platform For IOT And Wearable Technology Applications

“WaRP7” is a new platform which increases developer’s opportunity to innovate and bring new products to the market by smoothing and speed up the development process of IoT applications and wearable technologies.WaRP7 – A New Platform For IOT And Wearable Technology Applications
WaRP7 is a $85 platform designed by “Farnell element14”. It consists of a main board and a daughter card. The main board comes with a i.MX 7Solo applications processor from NXP and 8GB storage memory. WaRP7 supports WiFi, Bluetooth, USB-OTG, BLE, and NFC connections.
The processor is a member of i.MX 7Solo processors family and it is designed for devices that require high-performance processing with low-power requirements and a high degree of functional integration. It features an advanced implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, as well as the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core.
Using the daughter card ‘WaRP7 IO Board’, prototyping will be fast thanks to the ability of using various expansion modules. It has a flexible design connected with various sensors to collect data, and a MikroBus™ expansion socket which opens users to over 200 Click Boards™ from MikroElektronika.
WaRP7 features the following sensors, located in the daughter card :

  • A high-precision barometer.
  • A six-axis sensor combining an industry-leading accelerometer and magnetometer.
  • A three- axis gyroscope.

Another key element provided in the WaRP7 platform is a MIPI CSI Camera.
