Microchip - Create secure connected applications in a single click

 As part of its expanded partnership with Google Cloud, Microchip Technology has announced a new IoT rapid development board that allows designers to prototype connected devices in minutes. The solution combines a powerful AVR MCU, CryptoAuthentication security element IC, and a fully certified Wi-Fi network controller, providing a simple and effective way to connect embedded applications. Once connected, Google Cloud IoT Core makes it easy to collect, process, and analyze data to simplify large-scale decisions. The AVR-IoT WG development board enables developers to use a free online portal ( www.AVR-IoT.com ) to add a Google Cloud connection to new and existing projects with a single click. After the connection is established, developers can use the company's rapid development tools MCC and Atmel START to develop and debug in the cloud. The board combines smart, connected and secure devices, enabling designers to quickly connect IoT designs to the cloud. "Designing a secure, cloud-connected system is not necessarily an exhaustive process," said Steve Drehobl, Microchip's 8-bit MCU vice president. "We provide a simplified development process for the extension products provided by Google Cloud, which can quickly promote IoT design. To the market. "Business Unit. "Since the board is jointly supported by MCC and Atmel START, designers can use their favorite tools to accelerate development." The advantages of connecting devices to the IoT Core infrastructure include powerful data and analysis capabilities that enable designers to make better, smarter products. As part of the infrastructure, embedded designs can take advantage of and respond to rapidly changing conditions among many sensor nodes. "Microchip's solution enables Google Cloud IoT customers to quickly or large-scale build or migrate their applications without compromising security," said Antony Passemard, head of product management for Google Cloud IoT. "Combining Google Cloud Platform's network infrastructure with Google's IoT services, the simplicity of the board allows anyone to use powerful analytics tools and unique machine learning capabilities."
