Zolertia RE-Mote platform
============================================

![Zolertia RE-Mote development platform][remote-front]

The RE-Mote is a hardware development platform to build real IoT (Internet of Things) applications and products, aimed to high skilled developers as well as Makers (Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts) and early beginners, providing an industry-ready and resilient hardware solution for most Smart Cities, Home Comfort, eHealth and Industrial applications.  The RE-Mote conciliates an ultra-low power consumption with a high performance design, meeting specifications of processing resources, security and resilient operation.

The RE-Mote platform was designed jointly with universities and industrial partners from different countries in the context of RERUM <https://ict-rerum.eu> European Project.

The RE-Mote features a Zoul as its core module and it is bundled with the following features:

* ARM Cortex-M3 with 512KB flash and 32KB RAM (16KB retention), 32MHz.
* ISM 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee compliant.
* ISM 868-, 915-, 920-, 950-MHz ISM/SRD Band.
* On-board RF switch to programatically select RF itnerfaces.  Above RF interfaces can be used alternatively over a single RP-SMA connector for external antenna, or simultaneously by using an UFl pigtail or soldering an internal ceramic chip antenna (available on request).
* AES-128/256, SHA2 Hardware Encryption Engine.
* ECC-128/256, RSA Hardware Acceleration Engine for Secure Key Exchange.
* Power consumption down to 300nA using our shutdown mode.
* Programming over BSL without requiring to press any button to enter bootloader mode.
* Built-in battery charger (500mA), Energy Harvesting and Solar Panels to be connected to standards LiPo batteries.
* Power input with wide range 3.7-26VDC.
* On-board micro USB connector for USB 2.0 applications.
* RGB LED to allow more than 7 colour combinations.
* On-board nano-watt RTC.
* User and Reset buttons.
* On-board Micro-SD for external storage.
* On-board external Watchdog Timer (WDT) for resilient operation.
* Small form-factor of 73x40 mm.

The most prominent feature of the RE-Mote is its ultra low-power implementation, allowing a flexible and time/date-aware control of the platform operation modes by introducing a real-time clock (RTC), nanowatt external timer, ultra-low power PIC governing the battery manager, etc.

The RE-Mote features an optional custom-made enclosure to fit most scenarios, allowing to easily connect sensors, actuators and rechargeable LiPo batteries.  Its on-board RP-SMA antenna eliminates the need to mechanize an external antenna, allowing to alternatively use either a sub-1GHz or 2.4GHz antenna, or a multiband one.

The external WDT with battery monitor allows a robust and resilience operation for most critical applications.
