The eDNP/8331 is a 32-bit arm-based "virtual" system-on-module (SoM) including Debian Linux operating system and firmware functions for headless embedded gateways. It is available as intellectual property under a licensing model.
The complete SoM circuit is available as a schematic and PCB snippet for the widely used "Altium Designer" electronic design automation (EDA) tool.
The eDNP/8331 snippet can be imported into custom Altium projects in just a few steps, extended to include the required add-on and I/O functions, and fully integrated onto a single cost-optimized base board.
The package includes a backend function library with a Docker-based update server, digital twin and PKI security modules.
In addition, the DNP/8331 is also deliverable as a real system-on-module for evaluation, fast prototyping and low-volume productions.
Highlights
Integrate with your own Altium projects in just a few steps
Cost reduction by shortening the supply chain
Complete BOM control at component level
Reduced EMV issues by eliminating connectors
Components for remote OTA updates, PKI, digital twin, etc.
An eDNP/8331 can be fully integrated into an Altium Designer project as a snippet in the schematic design of a custom board, and can be incorporated into the final production product.
The individual eDNP/8331 signals of the schematic symbol are adapted to a Debian Linux operating system, which is available as an accessory for a microSD card.
The ideal application environment for the eDNP/8331 is in IoT data integration for sensor and actuator functions.
