SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a world leader in
storage, cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT),
connectivity and multimedia semiconductor solutions, today
announced that the Marvell EZ-Connect™ MW300 and MW302 Wi-Fi
microcontroller system-on-chips (SoCs) will support Google Weave, a
communications platform for IoT devices that enables device setup,
phone-to-device-to-cloud communication and user interaction from
mobile devices and the web. The MW300 family of microcontrollers
are highly integrated SoCs that are optimized for IoT applications
and come with a comprehensive software development kit that already
includes support for Apple HomeKit as well as a number of IoT Cloud
platforms including Amazon's AWS-IoT Service. Marvell's
industry leading EZ-Connect microcontrollers have been adopted by
leading global OEMs to develop a broad range of products including
home appliances, thermostats, CO/smoke detectors, toys, wireless
storage, HomeKit accessories, and other smart connected products.
Marvell's customers will now be able to quickly develop and bring
to market products with full support for Google Weave. This
announcement comes on the heels of Marvell's recent introduction of
its Andromeda Box™ IoT platform made for Google's Brillo operating
system based on Android, with native support for Weave Protocol.
With the addition of Weave enabled end devices to the Brillo OS
powered gateway, hub and edge devices, Marvell provides a true
end-to-end IoT platform for leading OEMs and developers.
"We are proud to deliver the first Weave enabled MCU device and
to further integrate our wireless solutions with Google's IoT
platform," said Philip Poulidis,
Vice President and General Manager, IoT, Automotive and Multimedia
Business Units at Marvell. "Our work with Google reflects our
leadership in developing next generation of smart IoT devices and
we look forward to future collaborations to deliver simple and
effective machine-to-machine interactions."
The Marvell EZ-Connect MW300 and MW302 wireless microcontroller
SoCs target a full range of IoT applications including: wearables,
home automation, home security, personal healthcare, smart
appliances, smart toys, accessories and remote controls,
automotive, lighting, industrial Internet and more.
Key features of the Marvell EZ-Connect MW300 Wi-Fi
microcontroller include:
- Highly integrated SoC with a powerful Cortex-M4F
microcontroller with 802.11n Wi-Fi® radio.
- Secure boot based on hardware root of trust enabling complete,
multi-layered security solution to provide secure persistent
storage and communications
- A flexible memory architecture with generous 512kB SRAM and an
accelerated flash controller providing memory-mapped access to
external QSPI flash enabling IoT devices to be built with
full-featured communication protocols, stacks and support
integrations into multiple platforms and ecosystems
- Low-power optimizations enabling deep low-power states and
reduced power-consumption in active modes to enable battery-powered
applications
- Very low RBOM requiring only a single crystal, QSPI flash, and
antenna with a single input power rail. A QFN package enables low
PCB cost
- Easy interfacing to sensors, actuators, and other components
via a full set of I/O interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, I2S,
PWM, ADC, DAC reducing extra components and PCB footprint
- Audio and video streaming enabled in any IoT device via a
powerful Cortex®-M4F CPU with DSP and Floating-point support, large
SRAM, and high-speed IO interfaces
- Production quality software SDK providing libraries for
networking middleware (HTTP, TLS, BSD Sockets, MQTT, Web-Sockets,
JSON, XML, etc.), easy connection to Wi-Fi networks, Secure
over-the-air (OTA) firmware update, persistent storage, and
more
- Tools and documentation to facilitate hardware and software
development and optimizations, and help customers through
manufacturing and certifications to bring products to market
quickly
