LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide Introduction MediaTek LinkIt™ for real-time operating system (RTOS) is a low-cost and easy to use Internet of Things (IoT) development platform to design, prototype, evaluate and implement IoT projects. The platform supports LinkIt™ 76x7 hardware development kit (HDK) by SAC. This user manual provides required knowledge on features of the HDK, including the pins, communication interfaces, core microcontroller unit (MCU) description, the networking capabilities and how to use them through the host driver.
LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide Get started with the HDK Before commencing the application development, you need to configure the development platform. 2.1. Configuring the LinkIt 7687 HDK LinkIt 7687 HDK includes a main board and a MT7687F stamp module. The MT7687F stamp module is mounted on the main board.
LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide Figure 2. COM port associated with the LinkIt 7687 HDK 2.3. Configuring the HDK flash mode The LinkIt 7687 HDK is embedded with 2MB flash memory. The boot options are either from the Flash memory or from the UART port.
LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide to the UART1 port of the chipset and the code is uploaded to the embedded flash memory through UART1. 2) Connect the board to the computer using a micro-USB cable. The development board should now be connected to the PC, as shown in Figure 1.
LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide Hardware Features This section provides the main supported features of the LinkIt 7687 HDK. The detailed description of the features is provided in the upcoming sections. • IEEE 802.11bgn Wireless Connectivity Single Chip with QFN68 package.
LinkIt 7687 HDK V30 User's Guide Hardware Feature Configuration 4.1. Microcontroller MT7687F features an ARM Cortex-M4 with floating point processor, which is the most energy efficient ARM processor available. MT7687F provides low power consumption embedded architecture and it’s optimized for various types of applications in home automation, smart grid, handheld devices, personal medical devices and industrial control that have lower data rates, and transmit or receive data on an infrequent basis.
