MediaTek LinkIt™ Connect 7681 Development Platform
To enable developers and makers to take advantage of the features of the MT7681 chipset,
MediaTek Labs offers the MediaTek LinkIt Connect 7681 development platform, consisting of an
SDK, HDK and related documentation.
For software development the SDK is provided for Microsoft Windows and Ubuntu Linux. Based on
the Andes Development Kit, the MediaTek LinkIt Connect 7681 SDK enables developers to compile
and upload firmware to control an IoT device in response to instructions received wirelessly.
For IoT device prototyping, the LinkIt Connect 7681 HDK delivers the LinkIt Connect 7681
development board. The development board consists of a LinkIt Connect 7681 module, micro-USB
port and pins for each of the I/O interfaces of the MT7681 chipset. This enables you to quickly
connect external hardware and peripherals to create device prototypes. The LinkIt Connect 7681
module, which measures just 15 x 18mm, is designed to easily mount on a PCB as part of
production versions of the IoT device.
