IoTOctopus®

Equipped with a 110K LE FPGA with Dual-Core Arm® Cortex®-A9 and an 8-channel 24-bit Sigma-Delta ADC, the IoTOctopus® can do complex computing and data analysis in real time.

Electro-mechanical systems such as drilling pumps, hydro-electric turbines and electric grids form the basis of many industrial applications. Smooth and reliable functioning of these systems is critical to ensuring cost-effective production and sometimes even environmental and human safety. The IoTOctopus® is built for such applications where accurate data interpretation of electro-mechanical devices is paramount. With its simultaneous 8-channel, 24-bit Sigma-Delta, 32 KHz sample rate ADC and an on-board Intel® Cyclone® V SoC, a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A9 and 110K LE fabric, the IoTOctopus® converts analog signals to digital data, rearranges, analyzes, stores and transmits data to gateways/local servers/cloud servers in real time. GPS based synchronization ensures a fool-proof mechanism for multi-channel alignment. With a dedicated security chip, the IoTOctopus® provides several layers of security including authentication, protected storage, secure updates, secure boot, memory integrity, and protection against tampering and physical attacks.
