NSHIELD 90-RE - Alpha Pacific Technologies Co., Ltd.

The Hilscher NSHIELD 90-RE development board is an evaluation platform specifically designed for multi-protocol network applications, aimed at empowering your microcontroller applications with robust real-time Ethernet capabilities and accelerating the rapid development of your industrial network applications.

Hardware for all industrial real-time Ethernet systems
The netX 90 stack firmware is available as a free download for evaluation
STM-NUCLEO-64 and STM-NUCLEO-144 are supported
Quick start guide for easy setup of hardware and software

Thanks to its Arduino Uno compatible host interface connector,the NSHIELD 90-RE can be easily plugged into STM32 Nucleo-64 and Nucleo-144 development boards. The netX 90 is deployed as a companion chip for the STM32 in this architecture. The NSHIELD 90-RE enables users to connect microcontroller-based applications to many relevant real-time Ethernet industrial networks with best-in-class real-time capabilities such as PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, and more. netX 90 is deployed as a "companion chip" to STM32.The netX SoC architecture is designed from the ground up to meet the highest flexibility, decisiveness, and performance requirements in terms of multiprotocol capability and low latency with short cycle times. This heterogeneous multicore architecture contains an ARM processor core coupled to a flexible communication subsystem (xC) to support many industrial applications.

The netX 90 development board offers you the easiest and most efficient way to evaluate product applications and connections to various communication networks. With our development board, you can start developing customized applications even before the hardware design is finalized, significantly reducing your time-to-market. We not only provide complete circuit diagrams and an integrated hardware debugging interface but also a powerful integrated development environment (netX Studio CDT)with a large number of software examples. With the option to connect the application processor to the board, you can test the first connection right away.
