IKDEVKIT3

ARM7 based Design-In Kit using ATMEL AT91RM3400

IKENDI makes it easy to implement a complete embedded fingerprint enhanced application on a single micro controller. The IKDEVKIT3 is based on the ATMEL AT91RM3400 ARM7 controller.

The RM3400 provides a 66 MHz ARM7 core, 256 kB ROM, 96 kB SRAM and a broad range of peripherals including SPI and USB interfaces on a single die. It is the ideal platform for biometric chip card readers, security tokens, USB memory-sticks, keyboards, fingerprint transponders and due to its low power consumption the best choice for battery powered applications (Part of the IKENDI fingerprint algorithm is stored in the ROM mask).

The cross development toolchain (compiler, assembler, debugger) is included in the IKDEVKIT3, together with a 1-day hands-on training at IKENDI. 50 fingerprint licenses are included to cover the prototypes and pilot series of your fingerprint enhanced product. A license contract is mandatory.

Basic software features

  • Memory footprint ca. 40 kB
  • Code size ca. 100 kB
  • Template Size < 700 Byte
  • Encoding time: 700 - 900 ms
  • Matching time: 15 - 50 ms

Hardware interfaces

2 UARTs, SPI, I2C, USB, smart card (ISO 7816), JTAG

Requirements

Standard PC with Win32 or Linux operating system, 192 MB RAM, 500 MB disk space, one serial interface
BDI-2000 JTAG debugger from Abatron. Check pricelist for details.

Deliveries

  • 9V DC power supply, serial cable, JTAG cable
  • IKDEVKIT3 board with IKSEN-ATM02 sensor plug-on board
