Marvell EZ-Connect MW302 IoT Starter Kit Supports AWS IoT Cloud Services

Amazon has just launched AWS (Amazon Web Services) IoT (Beta), a cloud platform that lets connected devices securely interact with cloud applications and other IoT devices. As pasrt of the announcement, they also released AWS IoT SDK that comes in three flavors:

  • Embedded C SDK for C-based platforms such as Linux, RTOS, with variants for OpenSSL and mbed TLS.
  • JavaScript SDK in Node.js
  • Arduino Yún SDK.

Ten started kits are currently officially supported by AWT IoT, many of them being existing platforms such as LinkIt One, BeagleBone Green, Intel Edison, or TI LaunchPad CC3200,  with several of these kits including SeeedStudio’s Grove modules.

One of the kits that’s completely new, at least to me, is Marvell EZ-Connect MW302 IoT Starter Kit which include a mini USB to USB cable, and Marvell 88MW302 development board with the following (preliminary) specifications:

  • SoC – Marvell EZ-Connect MW302 ARM Cortex-M4 WiSoC with 512KB SRAM
  • Storage – No info
  • Connectivity – 2.4Ghz b/g/n Wi-Fi (built-in MW302 MCU
  • USB – 1x micro USB OTG,
  • Debugging – 1x mini USB for UART console and JTAG, 1x 10-pin JTAG connector
  • Expansion headers – 2x 32-pin header with access to SPI, I2C, UART, I2S, PWM, ADC, DAC, as well as power signals and GND.
  • Misc – Reset key, four buttons, various jumpers, two LEDs
  • Power Supply – 5V DC via power jack
  • Dimensions – N/A

Information about Marvell MW302 SoC is limited to the product page, and more details require an NDA. Documentation for the kit is slightly better, with the SDK soon to be released on Github, and a getting started guide explains how to use AWS IoT dash with the board to monitor key presses, blink LEDs, and trigger actions with AWS IoT to AWS Lambda feature, which appears similar to what TI Connected LaunchPad does with Exosite cloud platform.

MW302 IoT Starter Kit is listed on Amazon for $49.90, but currently out of stock.

Re: mw30x; It will be interesting to see how much source they are going to be releasing publicly and if it ever makes it to distribution at a reasonable price. It is a nice platform but next gen espressif chip is going to be the one to beat.

Do you have any links or more info on the next get espressif chip?

ESP8266 still the most interesting one for this moment. Not only lowest price but also the very important thing in the world of open-source, SDK and strong and superb active community!

I wonder if anyone having information if this hardware available in Arduino, or Arduino like development platform. We can see ESP8266 in Arduino, CC3200 with Energia, Particle photon with their wiring clone IDE, would be interested to know if this Marvell chip available in that similar open source development aside from electric Imp.

Full source for the MW300 chipset being used, checkout the SDK support page at hi-flying.com and download the LPB300-SDK

The HF-LPB200 module, same SDK is available from gridconnect.com for about $11.50
