C-DAC | VEGA Microprocessors

ARIES MICRO v1.0 is a high-performance development board with loads of features in a small form factor. This breadboard friendly development platform based on THEJAS32 ASIC which operates at a frequency of 100MHz. THEJAS32 SoC includes VEGA ET1031 Microprocessor, 256KB internal SRAM, Three UARTs, Four SPIs, Three TIMERs, Eight PWMs, Three I2C interface, 25 GPIOs etc. This board contains everything needed to support the standalone operation. To get started simply connect the board to a computer with a USB cable 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…
