TIDE Tibbo Integrated Develompent Environment

EM2001

EM2000 Programmable IIoT Board

The EM2001 is a full-featured Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable IoT Board with Ethernet, as well as optional Wi-Fi*, BLE* (Bluetooth Low Energy), and 4G/LTE cellular** connectivity. The EM2001 has four UARTs. The board offers substantial speed and functionality improvements over its predecessor — the original EM1001 device.

The board is self-sufficient — it does not require a host PCB to plug into. The RJ45 jack is mounted directly on the board. The EM2001 also contains a DC-DC regulator that can power the board and has an additional current budget for external hardware.

The device’s capabilities are further enhanced by the onboard flash memory hosting a hardened fault-tolerant file system, as well as the EEPROM and RTC with a backup battery.

The EM2001 has 56 general-purpose I/O lines and can control an external LCD, keypad, buzzer, card readers, serial devices, and other circuitry. All I/O lines are accessible through two dual-row connectors with the standard 2.54mm (100mil) pitch.

The EM2001 is a close relative of the EM2000 IoT module.

* Requires the WA2000 add-on, which can be connected externally or piggybacked on top of the EM2001. Using the WA2000 also makes possible over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for the EM2001.
** Requires a standard 4G/LTE modem to be connected to a UART of the EM2001.

EM2001 is Supported by Cody, the Template Project Generator

Cody is a template project generator that produces working Tibbo BASIC code from the information you provide via a few simple-to-understand configuration screens.

This web-based app allows you to quickly create a working project that contains proper peripheral, port, and socket initialization. With Cody, you can also swiftly pour in huge chunks of your future product’s functionality: persistent storage of parameters (setting), data tables, multi-level onscreen setup menus, and much much more.

No less important is that Cody generates a template project with the right structure. Software developers know that all programming platforms have (a few) right and (many) wrong ways to structure the code and get things done. Choosing the wrong path usually makes the code slow, inefficient, and unreliable. Cody prevents you from getting lost by giving you the right scaffolding for your project.
