Native Development Board

Rev. 02C

Gumband Hardware, is a custom embedded system design for new Exhibit development on Gumband, it is a wired ethernet platform built around an Infineon PSoC chip with dual core ARM processor. It has the Gumband stack built-in to seamlessly monitor and interact with physical hardware such as buttons, sensors, LEDs, and motors. This platform also allows for remote firmware updates across a fleet of hardware.

  • ARM M0+ core handles the entire Gumband communication stack

  • ARM M4 core is entirely available for user firmware

  • Program using the Arduino IDE with the Gumband board library

  • Program natively through Infineon PSoC Creator (advanced)

  • Two 2x13 connectors (100mil pitch)

  • 40 multipurpose GPIO pins

  • Existing API supports I2C, UART, SPI, Ethernet, PWM, ADC

  • Additional protocols (RS485, CAN, LIN, ModBus, etc.) supported by MCU

PSoC Native IDE Development

The Gumband Development Board is built around a dual-core PSoC 6 MCU and a much greater range of capabilities can be achieved by developing in PSoC Creator or Modus Toolbox (the native PSoC IDEs). However it should be noted that any application developed under these IDEs that use the schematic editor or custom hardware blocks will not be compatible with an application developed using the Arduino IDE, this includes the core Gumband image.

 

Gumband Module

REV. 01

 

The native Gumband Hardware is also available as a module in a smaller SMT form factor without losing any functionality from the larger board. Requiring only an external Ethernet connector it is designed to be incorporated directly into a custom circuit board designed for your end application. At 35mm square it is small enough to be incorporated directly into almost any custom system.
