    Introduction The EPD-132 is a development kit with development tools which support the ultra- low power 2.4GHz RF wireless protocol integrated with the 13.3" R/B/W & B/W EPD in an ARM Cortex-M4 processor. Users may use this kit to experience how wireless modules deliver images to e-Paper and how e-Paper displays images.

  • Page 14: System Implementation

    1.3.1 Advantech EPD-132 Development Kit This architecture is composed of TFTP server, Tera Term, and EPD-132 (ePaper and controller). Physically, the development kit uses ED22 to connect between the control host computer and the EPD-132 module. Users control EPD-132 module through Tera Term on the host computer, so the image can be delivered wirelessly to ePaper when the user executes the command in Tera term.
