MicroZed carrier card kit for Arduino now available in Asia

Source: Avnet website.

Avnet, a global technology distributor, has announced the availability of the MicroZed Carrier Card Kit for Arduino, an Arduino-compatible carrier card for Avnet's MicroZed system-on-module (SOM). 

The platform enables designers in markets including industrial control, remote sensing, embedded vision and many other IoT-centric applications to quickly develop prototypes that combine the MicroZed SOM with the large ecosystem of Arduino shields. The kit is now selling for US$89 and is available in Asia.

The MicroZed Carrier Card Kit for Arduino features an UNO R3 Arduino-compatible shield interface that connects to the programmable logic I/O on the MicroZed SOM. This allows designers to develop custom interfaces between the shield circuits and the programmable logic in the system on a chip (SoC).

In addition to the MicroZed-to-Shield interface, the carrier card also includes a subset of Arduino-compatible connectors for interfacing MicroZed to a low-power MCU Evaluation board, Freescale's Kinetis FRDM-KL46Z for example.

"Avnet's MicroZed Carrier Card for Arduino provides our growing base of MicroZed users with a highly versatile prototyping platform," said Francis Lam, Director, Asia Marketing, Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia. "Through the combination of MicroZed, an MCU sub-system, an Arduino shield and several expansion interfaces, designers will be able to quickly develop their applications from a catalog of off-the-shelf hardware modules, example software code and proven reference designs."
