Embedded Modules and Microprocessors

Digi offers compact 16-bits, 32-bits ARM-based, ZigBee® and proprietary RF embedded modules;

The Rabbit®-based MiniCore® modules and the NET+ARM-based Digi Connect® and ConnectCore® families are the industry’s first interchangeable wired and wireless embedded modules, enabling OEMs to design in both wired 10/100 Ethernet and secure wireless 802.11a/b/g/n network connectivity with a single design effort. These solutions offer pre-certified networking connectivity options. They are designed for simple product integration and quick time-to-market. ARM-based modules are fully supported by the royalty-free NET+OS® development environment. A highly integrated ‘system-on-chip’ approach seamlessly combines system-on-silicon and software for Internet- and Ethernet-connected products.

XBee® and XBee-PRO® embedded RF modules offer easy-to-implement, low-cost, low-power, point-to-multipoint and mesh-capable modules designed for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 networks. These low-cost RF modules are ideal for long-range wireless data communications and mesh networking.

Development Tools

Development Kits and extensive support options lower the risk and increase productivity when using Digi embedded products. Digi JumpStart Kits™ (available for selected embedded modules) are a breed of development kit designed to enable rapid prototyping and application development within 30 minutes of installation. They include a module, baseboard and complete development hardware and software environment for out-of-the-box product development. These easy-to-use, cost-effective and complete development solutions dramatically shorten traditional time-to-market aspects of your embedded product.

For maximum flexibility, Digi JumpStart Kits support multiple operating environments, including Microsoft® Windows® CE, Linux®, Microsoft .NET Micro Framework and our own ThreadX®-based NET+OS.

Seamless Migration to Total Integration

Digi embedded modules combine true plug-and-play functionality with the freedom and flexibility of complete software customization. Software applications developed with NET+OS APIs and other operating systems can fully migrate across Digi Connect and ConnectCore hardware platforms, maximizing your initial investment and reducing the overall development effort.
