Originally published at: Golioth Partners with NXP Semiconductor; adds Continuously Verified Board - Golioth
We are excited to announce a partnership between Golioth and NXP Semiconductor. The result is a leap forward in your IoT design that will save you time while preparing your fleet to scale. NXP’s line of Ethernet-enabled parts are feature rich and well supported in the Zephyr ecosystem. When paired with the next-generation device management tools from Golioth, you get to skip the awkward growing pains in IoT. Power up your first proof of concept hardware and immediately do something meaningful with it from the Cloud side. Your i.MX RT based devices will suddenly include Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, command and control, data management, remote logging, and more. Built on Zephyr NXP i.MX RT1060 EVKB development board NXP is a founding and platinum member of the Zephyr project. The engineering team at NXP has spent years actively developing the RTOS. When you choose to build around an NXP part, you can expect excellent stability and up-to-date functionality with Zephyr. This meshes perfectly with Golioth’s embrace of the Zephyr platform (we are silver members of the project). Mike previously wrote about how much we enjoy working with the MIMXRT1060-EVKB board. As part of this new partnership, we’re excited to add it as a Continuously Verified Board (CVB) on Golioth. This means that our engineering team thoroughly tests this hardware against every release, and we’ve even included it in our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing that runs with every commit. You will always enjoy the latest and greatest Golioth support on this hardware. NXP hardware is industrial at heart The RT106x line of chips are some of the most powerful microcontrollers on the market. With a 600 MHz clock and huge range of peripherals (CAN,…
