Freescale launched a new wireless MCU capable of running both Thread and BLE v4.2 concurrently. While running Thread protocol in the background, the host MCU also uses BLE to let devices join the network, allowing sideband commissioning.

First I have to say that I did not take the pictures below. They where taken yesterday by Kent Backeby. Credit where credit is due.
One of the advantages of living in a place like I live in is the solar wind. A phenomena we see in the winter here. Yesterday we had a spectacular show. Free of charge. Just go out and look. Wonderful I must assure you. I just want to share. Now back to work.
I’m passionate about embedded software and as you might remember from one of my previous posts, believe that we need a revolution in the IoT space. E

A first batch of PCB’s are now ordered for the PIC version of the Frankfurth Eth card so we expect to see some working prototypes under October. This card has a lot of buffer capability to buffer CAN4VSCP events and a large external Flash for user interface.
Main use is Ethernet/TCP/IP <-> CAN4VSCP. Just add the module to a CAN4VSCP segment and it will add TCP/IP connectivity to that segment attaching the segment to a VSCP daemon or other software. Also we will build a web interface on the module for diagnostic and other things.
This module will also be available in an ARM version later.
A look at the development tools, platforms and protocols available for the CC2650 SensorTag.
