ARIES ALPHA v1.0 is a feature-rich indigenous hardware platform based on THEJAS32 SoC which includes VEGA ET1031 Microprocessor. This board is configured specifically for Ethernet,CAN and SDcard applications. ENC28J60 (Ethernet controller) adopts IEEE 802.3 compatible with ethernet or can be used as an ethernet controller. In other words, ENC28J60 is a micro (chip) with one function that is able to encapsulate data using internet or intranet network according to chip configuration which works at 20MHz-25MHz frequency and voltage between 3.14VDC-3.45VDC with SPI Interface. It provides a fast and reliable connectivity to IoT devices. Other peripherals available in this board include MCP2515 which is a stand-alone CAN controller developed to simplify applications that require interfacing with a CAN bus, Micro SD Memory Card Connector with SPI interface, LEDs etc. To get started simply connect the board to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC/DC adapter or a battery.

    This board is designed and developed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) as part of the Microprocessor Development Programme project funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India. This board is targeted for a wide variety of applications which includes low power IoT, Sensor fusion, Smart Meter, System supervisors, Remote sensors, Wearable devices, Toy and electronic education equipment, Legacy 8/16-bit applications, Industrial networking and many more…
