Out of The Box and into The Cloud in 30 Seconds
Microchip and Google have partnered to provide you with an ideal founda-
tion for building your next cloud-connected design. Combining powerful
microcontrollers, a CryptoAuthentication
secure element, and a fully certi-
ed Wi-Fi
®
network controller these boards oer the most simple and ef-
fective way to connect embedded applications to Google’s Cloud IoT core
platform. Make a direct connection to the Google Cloud, pre-provisioned
with free sandbox account to see light and temperature data. Choose from
your favorite AVR
®
or PIC
®
microcontroller architecture to make an easy
and secure cloud connection.

Smart
At the heart of the IoT Development Board is your choice of
microcontroller. Choose the AVR or PIC MCU that you are most
comfortable with. These powerful and ecient MCUs allow
you to intelligently bring your data to the Cloud. These scalable
MCUs allow you to expand upon the IoT functionality and add
your customized sensors into the application. For rapid pro-
totyping, the IoT Development Boards are supported by both
Studio 7 and MPLAB
®
X IDEs as well as graphical development
tools such as START and MPLAB Code Congurator (MCC).
These tools simplify connecting existing applications to the
cloud or developing new IoT designs.
Connected
The critical component that propels your design into the Cloud is
Microchip’s ATWINC1510, a single-band 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network
controller that was specically optimized for low power IoT
applications. Featuring extremely low power consumption, the
ability to store various security certicates, and 8 Mb of on-board
Flash memory, this device ooads all networking tasks from the
main CPU while automatically providing a secure socket connec-
tion and server authentication to the Google Cloud.
Each board comes pre-associated with a default shared Google
Cloud (sandbox) account for immediate successful authentica-
tion and data sharing without a custom user account. At any
time, the user can disconnect the device from the default
sandbox and register to a private account.
Secure
The integrity of any network is determined by its weakest link.
As the attack surface of IoT devices continues to grow with
clear acceleration, security can no longer be an afterthought.
The IoT Development Boards entrust data encryption to the
latest in Microchip's CryptoAuthentication
portfolio, the
hardware based ATECC608A. By employing ultra-secure key
storage, cryptographic countermeasures and obscuring private
keys from both users and software this secure element ensures
the highest delity of your transmission into the Cloud.
Beyond
The on-board mikroBUS
connector allows for both the seam-
less integration of any MikroElektronika Click boards
and the
ability to quickly interface with other sensors or actuators that
support the popular mikroBUS footprint. With over 500 click
boards to choose from this board can rapidly be made into an
IoT enabled motion detector, heart rate monitor, or anything
else you can imagine.
USB Mass Storage interface allows easy drag-and-drop update
of the microcontroller Flash memory and conguration of Wi-Fi
credentials. The USB can also be used for diagnostics and to
support command line interface.
