TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of two starter kits, RBTZ2100-１MA and RBTZ2100-2MA for development of applications using ApP Lite™ “TZ2100". Shipments are scheduled to start in March from Sohwa & Sophia Technologies*1.
The TZ2100 group supports enhanced audio and image data-mining, communications and security functions with a single-core ARM® Cortex®-A9 core and a clock rate up to 600MHz. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as small embedded devices, handheld devices, industrial equipment and amusement equipment. Sample shipment started in December 2014.
The development starter kits include reference boards and device drivers that allow devices to be evaluated in their final application environment. This can reduce use of developer resources and shorten the development schedule.
