Are you tired of spending all your time re-inventing the wheel? Unfortunately, many embedded engineers do just that; spend countless hours integrating the same core systems components over and over again. The OSD335x C-SiP allows you to break the cycle by providing an easy to use, complete system in a single package that integrates all of the core components that you need for your embedded system. Provide power, connect your peripherals, and you are ready to go. This single chip computer is so easy to use, you can now ‘dead bug’ a 1GHz Linux computer. (Read More…)
Having a full Linux computer, such as the OSD335x System in Package (SiP), the size of a coin enables abundant creativity when designing new IoT applications. The global health sensors market is in the billions and increasing at a rapid rate. When a market changes that quickly, designers need a flexible platform so they can spend time on the features they want to add. They also need reliable, open source hardware and software design tools. Therefore, the OSD335x-SM SiP, the smallest Texas Instruments AM335x module available, gives a solid foundation to build a health monitor.
Embedded World, Nuremberg, Germany (February 25, 2019) – Octavo Systems today introduced the OSD32MP1, their first System-in-Package (SiP) product based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics. The OSD32MP1 allows users of the popular STM32 family to move to Linux without adding size or complexity to their design. Octavo has leveraged their years of experience creating tightly integrated system building blocks to develop a device that is up to 64% smaller than an equivalent system made from discrete components. At only 18mm X 18mm the OSD32MP1 is the same size as the STM32MP1 but integrates: (Read More…)
The OSD3358-SM-RED is our Reference, Evaluation and Development platform for the OSD335x Family of System-in-Package (SiP) devices. It was designed to make it easy for anybody with some knowledge or a desire to learn to begin developing applications on the OSD335x family of SiPs. In fact, it is so easy to use even a Marketing Person like me can quickly develop on it!
Due to its openness, flexibility, and tremendous community support and development, Linux has become the operating system of choice for most new embedded systems. Be it Industrial control systems, robotics applications, or IoT devices, Linux distributions pull together drivers, utilities, libraries, and application software that reduce time to market and development costs. However, the challenge with Linux is:
How does one get started using Linux on a new Embedded System?
You’re busy. We get it. You ask: Do I really have time to learn about Linux? You don’t have time NOT to. 8 reasons why MCU users love switching to Linux on OSD335x :
1. Code is written while you sleep
The software libraries and device drivers for Linux are supported by a huge open-source community that stretches around the globe with thousands of passionate programmers and developers. This means that device drivers and software libraries, like OpenCV, an image processing library, or the TCP/IP stack, a complete set of networking protocols, are already available for most hardware components in your design. Even with new hardware that has just hit the market, there is a good chance that someone has already started developing or has developed the software you need. It is like having your own world-wide team of software developers.
2. A friend has started your hardware design for you
The Embedded World Conference in Nuremberg, Germany last week provided an opportunity for the Octavo Systems team to engage with dynamic and innovative companies from around the globe. In its 16th year, this leading exhibition for the international embedded community hosted over 32,000 engineers from 78 countries. With more than 2,000 sessions, the technical engagement level was at an all time high.
