ZeroG Wireless, Inc. and Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP) on Wednesday announced the availability of the next generation of production qualified software for the companies' joint development kit.
Introduced only five months ago, the easy-to-implement, low-power, Wi-Fi connectivity kits have already been shipped to 900 customers, and products using the ZeroG "Wi-Fi I/O" have now gone into production, beating the typical 12-18 month development cycle.
The new development kit software, version 5.2, provides customers with more options to increase throughput and usability. The development kit supports Microchip's new PIC32MX5, 6, and 7 32-bit microcontroller families, also announced today, allowing customers to dynamically switch between Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity. In addition, the upgrades give designers an easier way to build systems with multiple connectivity protocols, and offer browser-based configuration of Wi-Fi network access.
For existing customers, Version 5.2 of the development kit software is a no-cost upgrade. New customers have a choice of development tools and kits that start at $69.
