The distributor’s agreement with Zerynth will mean its IoT development environment will be available via a portal on the RS DesignSpark engineering community, allowing customers to download the tools.
Zerynth has developed a suite of software tools for programming 32-bit microcontrollers and their connection to cloud infrastructures. The suite is a free and cross-platform integrated development environment that runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X based computers.
The toolkit includes a compiler, debugger and an advanced code editor, as well as providing tutorials and example projects, and allows engineers and developers to use either the Python programming language or a hybrid version of C/Python.
Supported microcontrollers include those from Espressif, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Microchip/Atmel and STMicroelectronics, and connect them to cloud services from Amazon, Google, IBM or Microsoft.
“This agreement represents a pivotal step in the evolution of our partnership model and the augmentation of RS’ strategy for the IoT,” said Richard Curtin, vice president of strategic alliances at RS.
“It is the first global IoT-based SaaS commercial agreement for RS. The Zerynth suite is fast becoming the ‘Android’ for embedded IoT applications and is a key addition to the DesignSpark suite of enabling design and development tools for engineers”
