Description

The Azure Sphere MT3620 Starter Kit provides a comprehensive hardware foundation for building highly secure, connected IoT edge devices. Its carrier board hosts a certified MT3620 module built around the MediaTek MT3620AN System-on-Chip, which integrates a 500 MHz ARM Cortex-A7 application processor and two 200 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F microcontrollers for deterministic real-time tasks. This architecture allows for the flexible assignment of rich peripherals—including UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, PWM, and ADC—across the three cores.

Designed for rapid prototyping, the board features direct access to on-board motion and environmental sensors and offers multiple expansion paths via industry-standard Mikroe Click sockets and a Grove I2C connector. Power and debugging are streamlined through a single USB connection, which supplies 5V and provides UART/JTAG interfaces for development. This kit delivers a secure, production-oriented starting point for IoT solutions, leveraging the Azure Sphere OS’s built-in security services from chip to cloud.

Key Features

  • Secure IoT Development: Leverages the Azure Sphere platform with built-in hardware-based security, over-the-air updates, and cloud connectivity.
  • High-Performance Tri-Core Processing: Combines an application-focused Cortex-A7 core with two real-time Cortex-M4F MCUs for complex, responsive IoT workloads.
  • Integrated Sensor Suite: Includes a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, temperature, barometric pressure, and ambient light sensor for immediate data acquisition.
  • Flexible Hardware Expansion: Features two Mikroe Click sockets and a Grove I2C connector for rapid prototyping with a vast ecosystem of add-on boards.
  • Professional Development Toolchain: Supported by Microsoft Visual Studio IDE and the Azure Sphere SDK for streamlined C application development, debugging, and deployment.
  • Dual-Band Wi-Fi Connectivity: Integrated 2.4/5GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n radio with an onboard chip antenna for robust wireless communication.
  • Multiple Power Options: Can be powered via USB or through terminal footprints for external 5VDC and VBAT supplies, supporting RTC backup.

Applications

  • Secure IoT Edge Devices: Prototyping end-to-end solutions with hardware-rooted security and cloud connectivity.
  • Smart Retail & Building Automation: For environmental monitoring, asset tracking, and control systems.
  • Industrial IoT (IIoT) & Factory Automation: Real-time data acquisition and control using the Cortex-M4F cores.
  • Consumer Appliances & Prototyping: Developing connected products with integrated sensors and Wi-Fi.
  • Remote Access & Telemetry Systems: Leveraging Azure Sphere for managed, secure remote device management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software is required to develop applications for the Azure Sphere MT3620 Starter Kit?

You need to install Microsoft Visual Studio (2017 or later) and the Azure Sphere SDK. The development environment is specifically configured for C programming within the Azure Sphere framework. After setting up, you create a project in Visual Studio, connect the board via USB, and use the integrated tools for building, deploying, and debugging your application directly on the device through the provided UART/JTAG interface.

How do I power the board and connect it for debugging?

The board is primarily powered through its micro-USB port connected to a computer. This single cable also provides the serial UART and JTAG connections needed for debugging and communication with Visual Studio. For field deployment or RTC backup, you can solder wires to the external 5VDC and VBAT terminal footprints on the carrier board, but USB is sufficient for all development activities.

What are the ISU interfaces and how are they configured?

The MT3620 module provides five ISU (I2C/SPI/UART) interfaces, three of which are broken out and pre-configured on this starter kit—one each for UART, SPI, and I2C. Their maximum interface rates are 3 Mbps for UART, 40 MHz for SPI, and 1 MHz for I2C. You assign and manage these peripherals in your application code using the Azure Sphere SDK APIs, which allow you to target specific interfaces to the Cortex-A7 or Cortex-M4F cores as needed.
