NuMaker-IoT-M263A

Board Introduction

The NuMaker-IoT-M263A developing board, is launched to speed up product design cycle with the IoT software package provided by Nuvoton, connecting the cloud of Arm Pelion, Amazon AWS, and Ali-Cloud is easy to use.

The NuMaker-IoT-M263A consists of two parts, the M263 platform with popular on-board wireless-connectivity/sensor modules, and an on-board Nu-Link2-Me debugger and programmer. The NuMaker-IoT-M263A allows users to quickly develop IoT ( Internet of Things ) related products and easily program and debug application.

The main microcontroller of NuMaker-IoT-M263A is M263KIAAE, with low power and robust security features. The NuMaker-IoT-M263A provides Arduino UNO compatible extension connectors, various power supply option and ammeter connector, makes it is easy to extend functionality and take current consumption measurement

The NuMaker-IoT-M263A provides popular wireless connectivity modules that used in IoT applications, include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and LoRa modules. The NuMaker-IoT-M263A also supports a mini PCIe connector for inserting external modules to realize 3G/4G/NB-IoT connectivity functions, such as QUECTEL BG96/EC21 modules. Besides, the NuMaker-IoT-M263A integrates BOSCH environmental sensor and 9-axis sensor for acceleration, geo-magnetics, gas, barometric pressure, temperature and humidity sensing. Furthermore, the NuMaker-IoT-M263A supports CAN and RS485 transceiver for industrial control application.

The Nu-Link2-Me is a debugger and programmer that supports on-line programming and debugging through SWD interface. The on-board 16 Mbit SPI Flash allows it to off-line program the target microcontroller. The Nu-Link2-Me provides virtual COM port ( VCOM ) function to print out messages on PC. The Nu-Link2-Me can be separated from NuMaker-IoT-M263A, allowing user to use it as a mass production programming tool.
