SkyTraq Technology launches a 32-bit MCU development board with a small size high performance

December 23, 2013 Global Satellite Positioning Chip Design Company Weihang Technology (Skytraq Technology) Tested to have a customer group to high performance satellite positioning processors in the field of traditional positioning chip modules, launching Navspark in Indiegogo Mass Fundraising Website A 32-bit MCU development board whose thumb is high-performance low-cost, built-in GPS / GNSS satellite positioning receiver is peripheral. Due to the near 8 MCU development board, the GPS / GNSS satellite positioning receiver is equivalent to free of charge. NAVSPARK raised target $ 27,000, ending on February 6, 2014. NAVSPARK features the following features: 100MHz 32bit Risc + 16kbyte I-Cache + 2kbyte D-Cache IEEE-754 Compliant Floating Point Unit 1MBYTE FLASH MEMORY 212kByte SRAM GPS Receiver UART X 2 SPI X 2 I2C x 1 17 Digital I / O (shared with the above functions) Attachment with atomic clock synchronization +/- 10nsec error Arduino IDE software development interface, integrated GPS software SDK NAVSPARK-BD styles built an Beidou / GPS receiver, users can synchronize the latest Beidou / GPS satellite positioning technology with the mobile phone. NAVSPARK-GL styles build GLONASS / GPS receiver, which can use Glonass / GPS dual satellite positioning as existing high-end phones. The launch of Navspark allows the most advanced Beidou / GPS and GLONASS / GPS satellite positioning easy to achieve and prices. Navspark uses a 7mm x 7mm QFN56 Venus822 chip in the Weihang multi I / O feet. Venus822 can simultaneously handle 34 Beidou / GPS / GLONASS / GALILEO / QZSS / SBASS / Galileo / QZSS / SBAS satellite signal, the operational capacity is far more than the 8-bit or 32-bit MCU development board whose memory capacity is prevalent. No satellite positioning applications, Navspark's 100MHz RISC / FPU operational power and the memory capacity of 1 MByte + 212kByte RAM for use. In applications where GPS single satellite or Beidou / GPS, GLONASS / GPS dual satellite positioning, there is still a low-cost MCU development board that has been popular with the market. Different styles have average price of Navspark between $ 15 to $ 20, with a 32-bit MCU developing board with excellent performance of the Chuangbi group to sense the performance of excellent performance; while the global designer can be like GPS The most advanced Beidou / GPS and GLONASS / GPS dual die satellite positioning are easily obtained. Navspark is extremely easy to close, so that some DIY small application design does not need to take into account the extraction of the MCU development board. For exquisite applications, such as GPS sports products, anti-lost positioning devices, competitive performance recorders, toy four-paddle helicopters automatic driving ..., etc., after Navspark quickly complete the design and verification, the mass production can be used to use low The price of 10mm x 10mm x 1.3mm VENUS838FLPX, which is a narrowing version of the LGA package Navspark. For applications that are only beneficial to Navspark's excellent operation and memory capacity, Venus822 chip can be used to reduce costs.
