The kit, called KD240 drives starter kit, includes the module, a carrier card and a heat sink.
Included is 2Gbyte (2chan x 256Mbit x 16bit/chan) of LPDDR4, and a 512Mbit QSPI primary boot memory backed by a MicroSD card secondary boot memory.
Secure boot is handled by the main IC’s hardware root-of-trust, and an Infineon TPM2.0 IC is included.
“The carrier card includes a power solution, three Ethernet interfaces, a CAN interface, a microSD card, a three-phase power inverter, and multiple analog-to-digital converter channels,” said distributor Mouser, which is carrying the kit.
One of the Ethernet ports is TSN (time-sensitive networking) enabled, and there are also connections for RS-485, USB 3.0 and quadrature encoders (single-ended and differential). A 12pin connector is provided for Pmod-compatible sensors.
Terminal blocks are provided for connecting a torque sensor, the three-phase motor and a brake control.
Mouser points out that industrially-rated Kria K24 system-on-modules are available, but the module provided with the kit (image left, heatsink removed) is only for development and not to be used in products.
