Cypress has announced that it has expanded the cloud connectivity offerings for its IoT solutions with AliOS Things, Alibaba’s embedded IoT operating system. Developers can now streamline connections to Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, and design differentiated products with the flexible computing and security features of Cypress’ programmable PSoC MCUs and the robust wireless connectivity of its WiFi and Bluetooth portfolio for the IoT.

Cypress’ PSoC 6 MCUs have passed the advanced certification for AliOS Things with Alibaba Cloud connectivity.

PSoC 6 is purpose-built for the IoT, providing low power, flexible dual-core Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ MCU with hardware-based security. These features deliver prolonged battery life, robust processing and sensing, and protection of sensitive user data. Cypress’ PSoC 4 MCUs have also passed the basic certification for the AliOS Things operating system.

Cypress will demonstrate its PSoC 6 MCU running the AliOS Things operating system and connecting to Alibaba Cloud at The Computing Conference 2018 hosted by Alibaba Group in Hangzhou, China from 19th-22nd September.

“Cypress empowers customers to create winning IoT products with our robust WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity solutions and flexible PSoC MCUs, but supplementing these with a diverse partner ecosystem is critical,” said Michael Hogan, Senior Vice President of the IoT Compute and Wireless Business Unit at Cypress.

“Collaborating with Alibaba gives our customers a direct path to connect to Alibaba Cloud and strengthens our ecosystem for China, making it easier for developers to leverage the ultra-low power consumption and integrated security of PSoC 6 and our best-in-class wireless connectivity for the IoT.”

“Cypress is a key addition to our IoT ecosystem, which is built as an open platform based on Alibaba Cloud and AliOS Things for all semiconductor vendors,” said Wei Ku, General Manager of Alibaba’s IoT Business Unit.

“Cypress’ wireless solutions gives IoT developers uninterrupted connectivity that can meet their customers’ demands, along with access to Alibaba Cloud, while the PSoC 6 MCU provides them with a reliable environment supported by AliOS Things where developers can conduct secure data processing.”
