NXP and Xiaomi Vela jointly build an IoT ecosystem to provide a powerful technology engine for the IoT development community

Industry News 2023-11-24

【Lansheng Technology News】Recently, at the 2023 Xiaomi IoT Ecological Partner Conference,NXP Semiconductorswas invited to attend as an important partner of Xiaomi and demonstrated the powerful technical resource support provided to the Xiaomi Vela ecological community.


Xiaomi Vela is an embedded IoT software platform built on the open source real-time operating system NuttX and customized for consumer-grade IoT. It can provide a unified software platform on various IoT hardware, shielding the differences in underlying hardware. Through rich components and standardized software frameworks, it provides a unified software interface for upper-level device developers to open up fragmented things. Networked application scenarios greatly reduce the complexity of development and improve development efficiency.


As a global ecological partner of Xiaomi Vela,NXPis deeply involved in the construction of the ecosystem of this development community and has launched a series of technical resources. At this event, NXP highlighted the i.MX RT1060 EVK development kit.


NXP's i.MX RT1060 cross-border MCU is based on the 600MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core and has 1MB on-chip SRAM. It has strong real-time performance and high integration, and is suitable for various industrial and IoT applications. The i.MX RT1060 series provides 2D graphics, camera and various memory interfaces, as well as a wide range of connection interfaces, including UART, SPI, I2C, USB, 2 10/100M Ethernet interfaces and 3 CAN interfaces. Its other features for real-time applications include: high-speed GPIO, CAN-FD, and synchronous parallel NAND/NOR/PSRAM controller.


In addition, i.MX RT1060 has a 2D hardware graphics acceleration PXP module, 3 I2S interfaces for high-performance multi-channel audio, and supports LCD display controller (up to WXGA 1366 x 768). The i.MX RT1060 is available in 225BGA and 196BGA packages, providing greater flexibility with an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.


The i.MX RT1060 series can be developed using NXP's official MCUXpresso tool chain, including SDK, IDE options, and security configuration and configuration tools, enabling rapid development and supporting various real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, Xiaomi Vela, Nuttx, Zephyr, etc. .


Xiaomi Vela is fully scalable from micro (8-bit) to mid-range embedded (64-bit) systems with a high degree of standards compliance, easy to port, fully open, highly real-time and powerful. i.MX RT1060 fully supports Xiaomi Vela. Currently supported drivers include ADC, CAN, eLCDIF, ENC, ENET, GPIO, I2S, PWM, SPI, UART and USB. It also supports Vela’s LVGL Demo and can be adapted to Xiaomi The upper component of Vela framework. This combination of soft and hard will provide a powerful technical engine for the development of the Xiaomi Vela ecological community.
