Australian Wifi HaLow provider Morse Micro has released an evaluation kit; an integrated development platform designed to advance IoT across industries.

Leveraging the power of Wifi HaLow, the MM6108-EKH05 supports applications from smart home devices to industrial automation systems.

With support for data rates up to 32.5Mbit/s and programmable operation in the sub-1GHz range, the kit can help accelerate IoT development. Leveraging Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wifi HaLow low-energy SoC, STM32U585 low-power microcontroller (MCU) and the BlueNRG-M2 Bluetooth SoC, the board provides wireless connectivity, security features, low power consumption, and a range of programmable interfaces and sensors.

This secure platform is suitable for software engineers developing energy-efficient IoT products.

Features of the evaluation kit include:

  • Wifi HaLow connectivity: support for long-range, low-power wireless connectivity.
  • Energy-efficient STM32U585 MCU: built for low-power applications.
  • Integrated sensors: includes temperature, humidity, accelerometer and more to enhance IoT applications.
  • STLinkV3 programmer: built-in debugger for software evaluation.
  • Flexible power-supply options: supports USB, battery or external power, providing developers with versatile configuration options.
  • WPA3 security: security protocols for safe, reliable IoT applications.
  • Rapid deployment: The CMSIS-pack software, compatible with STMCube IDE, enables rapid deployment of Wifi HaLow, accelerating time to market and reducing development costs.

“The MM6108-EKH05 evaluation kit exemplifies our commitment to empowering IoT developers with cutting-edge technology,” said Michael De Nil, CEO of Morse Micro. “This kit brings together the low power, long-range benefits of Wifi HaLow with versatile programming interfaces and sensors to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving IoT landscape. By offering a robust, energy-efficient and accessible platform with extensive connectivity options, we’re helping developers break new ground in everything from smart cities to industrial automation. We believe this is a critical step towards making IoT more connected, efficient and secure for industries worldwide.”

The kit (au.mouser.com/datasheet/2/1521/Morse_Micro_11_07_2024_Draft_MM6108_EKH05_User_Gui-3532273.pdf) comes with pre-configured hardware and software, an SDK and technical documentation to help streamline the prototyping process.
