Product Name: Development Kits ConnectCore Wi-9C

Product Description

Rapid application development for the NET+ARM NS9360 ARM9 microprocessor 
Support for Digi's NET+OS® development environment 
Quick time-to-market with the ConnectCore Wi-9C module 
The complete and easy-to-use Digi JumpStart Kits minimize overall product designs risks, whether it is the small footprint and efficiency of the royalty-free and out-of-the-box ThreadX-based NET+OS® platform, the feature-complete selection of high-level software components and applications of Microsoft® Windows Embedded CE, or Embedded Linux with its open software library.

The ConnectCore Wi-9C Digi JumpStart Kits include:
ConnectCore Wi-9C development board and module 
Full schematics for development board 
Digi ESP IDE with Microcross GNU tools (for NET+OS 7.x and Embedded Linux kits only)
Digi JTAG Link USB-based debugger (for NET+OS 7.x kit only)
Power supply and connecting cables
