ARM Beetle IoT Evaluation Platform Overview The Beetle IoT evaluation board is built around the ARM® IoT subsystem for Cortex®-M processors which allows design teams to create IoT endpoints faster and with lower risk. ARM’s scalable IP solutions are designed to target across the value chain from sensors to servers. ARM’s IoT subsystem with mbed OS is a complete reference system that reduces the complexity and risk of a SoC design for IoT endpoints. The subsystem features a range of peripherals and interfaces. It is specifically designed for the use with Cortex-M processors and ARM Cordio® Bluetooth® Smart Radio IP. ARM has taken this subsystem and generated a proof of concept platform called Beetle. The central element of the platform is the IoT subsystem, which is pre-validated allowing the user to hit the ground running. ARM built on the IoT subsystem attaching the Cortex-M3 processor, Cordio Bluetooth Smart radio, TSMC embedded flash and a host of other complementary peripherals to make the Beetle test-chip. The design is fully compliant with ARM’s mbed IoT Device Platform to enable rapid development and prototyping. It’s loaded with debug features includes JTAG, SWD, CMSIS-DAP and TRACE. It has support for expansion via Arduino® headers. It is an ideal platform for the evaluation of ARM IoT subsystems for Cortex-M. A microcontroller-based configuration mechanism provides an easy, USB-based plug-and-play method for programming software and firmware into the system flash memory from an attached PC ARM Subsystem IP ARM Other IP 3rd Party IP PLL IoT Subsystem for Cortex-M System Pad Cortex-M3 Control Ring Power DFT Control Multi-layer AHB Interconnect Quad 2x 2x WD SPI SPI I2C Cache RAM APB Bridge Flash Cache Tag 2x RAM SRAM Controller APB TRNG RTC GPIO UART Flash Controller Peripherals SRAM SRAM Cordio eFlash eFlash Radio SRAM SRAM ARM Beetle Test Chip It Enables • Evaluation of the ARM IoT Subsystem for Cortex-M. • Development of mbed OS applications. • Expansion via Arduino® connectors.
