Arduino TIAN | Maker Minute

Arduino TIAN unleashes the power of a small computer running Linux connected to a 32-bit microcontroller. The new Arduino TIAN board is powered by Atmel’s SAMD21 MCU, featuring a 32-bit ARM Cortex® M0+ core and a Qualcomm Atheros AR9342, plus Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. The SAMD21 provides one hardware UART and three hardware USARTs for 3.3V serial communication. The SAMD21 also supports TWI and SPI communication. The Arduino TIAN has also a build in 4GB eMMC memory and can be powered through the micro USB connection or an external power supply. It supports the easy-to-use Arduino Ciao library enabling sketches to communicate intuitively using common IoT protocols or third-party services.
