Programmable IoT Module T

Hardware

Specifications:

• 32-bit architecture.
• Powered by Tibbo OS (TiOS).
• 10/100BaseT auto-MDIX Ethernet port (no magnetics).
• Optional Wi-Fi interface (requires the WA2000 add-on module).
• Optional BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) interface (requires the WA2000 add-on module).
• One serial port (CMOS):
  • Baudrates of up to 460,800bps;
  • None*/even/odd/mark/space parity modes;
  • 7* or 8 bits/character;
  • Full-duplex mode with RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF flow control;
  • Half-duplex mode with direction control;
  • Encoding and decoding of Wiegand and clock/data streams.
• 10 general-purpose I/O lines; 2 lines can work as interrupts.
• 16.1KB SRAM for Tibbo BASIC/C variables and data.
• 512KB flash memory for TiOS and application code (224K for app code).
• Optional 1MB flash disk (requires an external SPI flash IC).
• 2048-byte EEPROM for data storage (2016 bytes for the app's data).
• Three control lines for status LEDs:
  • Control lines for two external dual-function status LEDs;
  • A separate control line for the Ethernet link LED.
• Reliable power-on/brown-out reset circuit (reset IC not required).
• Power: 110mA @ 3.3V (100Base-T mode).
• "Vertical slice" form factor.
• Dimensions (HxWxT): 16 x 18.5 x 6.5mm.
• Operating temperature range: -40 ~ +85°C.
• Firmware is upgradeable through:
  • The serial port;
  • Ethernet LAN; or
  • Over-the-air (requires the WA2000 and an iOS or Android device).
• Tibbo BASIC/C application can be debugged through the Ethernet LAN.
• CE- and FCC-certified.

*The EM510 does not support the combination of the 7 bits/character mode and the "none" parity mode.

Programming

Create powerful, network-enabled applications in Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C. To get started, use Cody — Tibbo's template project generator.

Platform objects:

• bt — in charge of the BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) interface.
• button — monitors the MD (setup) line.
• fd — manages the flash memory file system and direct sector access.
• io — handles I/O lines, ports, and interrupts.
• net — controls the Ethernet port.
• pat — "plays" patterns on up to five LED pairs.
• ppp — accesses the Internet over a serial modem (4G/LTE, etc.).
• pppoe — accesses the Internet over an ADSL modem.
• romfile — facilitates access to resource files (fixed data).
• ser — controls the serial port (UART, Wiegand, clock/data modes).
• sock — socket comms (up to 16 UDP, TCP, and HTTP sessions).
• ssi — controls serial synchronous interface channels (SPI, I2C).
• stor — provides access to the EEPROM.
• sys — in charge of general device functionality.
• wln — handles the Wi-Fi interface.

Function Groups: String functions, date/time conversion functions, encryption/hash calculation functions, and more.

Variable Types: Signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit types; string type; user-defined arrays and structures.
