The kits both have processors featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore/ARM NEON CPU with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and an embedded IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2×2 MIMO baseband engine for WiFi connectivity. The RBTZ5000-2MA-A1 and RBTZ5000-6MA-A1 also provide drivers for video playback using Wireless LAN and HDMI outputs.
On a Ubuntu Linux platform, the RBTZ5000-2MA-A1 includes a general-use board with expanded I/O for various peripherals, such as cameras or microphones.
Developed for transmission of audio, video and other media for streaming delivery, the RBTZ5000-6MA-A1 is on an Android 4.4 platform and features a stick-type board suitable for streaming media devices. This board incorporates various optional units, enabling improved development efficiency for a broad range of devices targeting the fast-growing IoT market.
Baseband engine compliant with the next-generation high-speed wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11ac, the TZ5000 series application processors integrate NAND flash memory. High-speed wireless LAN features delivering high-quality movie experiences are combined with NAND flash memory in a single package, enabling user programs and large-volume data to be kept in temporary storage. It is suited for small-form-factor designs with a reduced component requirement and decreased footprint.
The TZ5000 ApP Lite starter kit samples will be shipping from October 2014.
