The new WICED®Studio 4 software development kit integrates multiple wireless protocols in a single tool, enabling cloud connectivity within minutes, simplifying product design
Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: CY) today announced the launch of a new version of the WICED® (Wireless Interconnection Platform for Embedded Devices) Studio 4 IoT development platform, which can realize wireless connectivity within minutes. The platform provides a one-stop development environment with a simple and easy-to-use programming interface, suitable for a variety of wireless technologies, including Cypress's world-leading Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth and combo solutions. The WICED platform supports a variety of current most popular cloud services, without the need for developers to install related service connection agreements, thereby reducing development time and costs.
Mike Hogan, vice president of Cypress’s Internet of Things business unit, said: “Many Internet of Things applications tend to have combo solutions with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other connection protocols, and every Internet of Things developer expects to find a way to upgrade the connectivity. A simple migration path. Our new WICED Studio 4 development platform provides a design tool with multiple wireless protocols that can simplify the design process and help our customers speed up the time to market of innovative networked products."
Cypress WICED Studio 4 development platform provides the world's most integrated and interoperable wireless software development kit (SDK). The toolkit contains the most popular and rigorously tested Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks on the market; in addition, it also provides a simple and easy-to-use application programming interface, so developers do not need to learn complex wireless technologies. This kit is in line with the development trend of dual-mode connectivity for the Internet of Things, and supports Cypress's CYW 43438 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combination solution and its low-power CYW 20719 Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) combination solution ( The program has already been sampled by major customers). The SDK also includes an installation package suitable for multiple wireless technologies, and its Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) can run on multiple operating systems such as Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
The powerful database of WICED Studio 4 SDK integrates popular cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, IBM Bluemix, Alibaba Cloud (Alibaba Cloud International Edition) and Microsoft Azure, as well as private cloud partner services, so cloud connectivity can be achieved within minutes . The toolkit can provide support for the Apple HomeKit home automation platform from Apple authorized persons, and will soon add support for Weibo, China's main social media platform.
Cypress’s WICED Studio 4 connection kit is not limited by microcontrollers (MCUs) and can provide ready-made support for various third-party microcontrollers to meet the needs of complex IoT applications. The platform also provides a cost-effective solution for simple IoT applications by integrating microcontroller functions into connected devices. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks can run on the host microcontroller or in embedded mode, so a flexible platform architecture with common firmware can also be used.
Cypress is participating in the 2016 Munich International Electronics Show held at the Munich Exhibition Center in Germany from November 8th to 11th, showing the latest WICED Studio 4 SDK and its connected cars, industrial Internet of things, smart home appliances, wearable devices, etc. Complete IoT solutions for multiple application fields, booth number is A5 Hall 318. Cypress's complete IoT solutions can help developers combine their most advanced Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee® IoT connectivity solutions with their microcontrollers, PSoC® programmable system-on-chips, and CapSense® capacitive sensing and analog Power management IC (PMIC), USB connection solutions and high-performance storage accelerate the time to market.
