Digi ConnectCore® 6+ Development Kit

Digi ConnectCore® 6+ Development Kit provides a powerful universal platform for smart-connected devices. The ConnectCore 6+ Development Kit includes everything needed to develop and rapidly prototype applications based on the ConnectCore 6+ Platform. The included Single Board Computer is based on the ConnectCore 6+ System-on-Module (SOM), offering scalable NXP i.MX6 QuadPlus performance, and pre-certified Bluetooth® 4.2 and Wi-Fi® integration. The ConnectCore 6+ SBC includes a Digi XBee RF module and cellular connectivity options, Gigabit Ethernet support, multi-display / camera and audio support, external storage, expansion connectors, and reliability in harsh environments.

The Development Kit includes a power supply, cables, adapters, and an antenna, enabling startup right out of the box.
