The DesignWare® ARC® IoT Development Kit includes a silicon implementation of the ARC EM9D-based ARC Data Fusion IP Subsystem running at 144 MHz on SMIC’s 55-nm, ultra-low power process. The SoC also integrates a wide range of common peripheral interfaces, on-board Bluetooth low-energy module for wireless connectivity and a 9-axis (gyro, accelerometer and compass) sensor for wearables and other IoT applications.
The ARC IoT Development Kit is further extensible through available Arduino, mikroBus and Pmod connectors.

The ARC IoT Development Kit includes the following features:
