The new "RDK2" development suite from Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH is a complete solution for firmware and hardware developers. RDK2 enables rapid proof-of-concept creation and reduced time to market. The modular toolkit uses Infineon Cypress's PSoC62 microcontroller to provide an outstanding solution for applications in the Internet of Things, Industrial Internet of Things (IoT, IIoT), smart wearables and the smart home.

     With the new "RDK2" development suite, we are creating a unique way to accelerate pre-development and launch. This modular toolkit is particularly useful for proof-of-concept development. It has a variety of applications. For example, the Internet of Things, Industrial Internet of Things (IoT, IIoT), smart wearable devices and smart home areas. "The electronics industry thrives on innovation," explains Stephan Menze, head of global innovation Management. That's exactly what we're showing at Ruzhuoli. The advantage of the 'RDK2' development suite is that it helps speed up product development. It provides many useful features and interfaces, as well as excellent flexibility in application options. All the components used in this development kit are made from products represented by Ruzoli."

     The RDK2 development kit uses Infineon Cypress's PSoC62. The microcontroller features a dual-core CPU, making it ideal for secure edge computing and cloud applications. The PSoC62 has an integrated power management IC for SMPS and all connected power supplies. "Infineon welcomes Julian's decision to put the powerful PSoC62 microcontroller at the heart of its new development suite 'RDK2'," said Susanne Horn, Vice president of Distribution Management for EMEA at Infineon. With the PSoC 6 microcontroller family, Infineon provides a low-power and low-cost platform for Internet of Things applications that enable stable connectivity, enhanced computing power and security. We believe that with our range of services and customer base, we can provide our customers with significant development advantages through RDK2."

     The new and unique butterfly design improves handling. This ensures that access to the Arduino connector is user-friendly and reduces potential interference from electromagnetic influences, especially with RF IoT Arduino shielding. To test the analog-to-digital conversion, you can use an integrated potentiometer. A special feature is that the user can access all the PSoC62 pins through the Arduino connector. Also included is a capacitive sensing technology called Cap Sense. It enables the touch surface used as the slider.
