The Bluegiga APx4 is a small form factor, low
power system-on-module that includes the
latest wireless connectivity standards:
b/g/n and Bluetooth APx4 is based on

Freescale's i.MX28 processor family and runs
an embedded Linux operating system based on the Yocto ProjectTM. In addition to integrating
the 454MHz ARM9 processor, the wireless
connectivity technologies, Linux operating
system the APx4 also includes with several built
in applications, such as the
and Bluetooth stacks,

Continua
v.1.5 compliant IEEE manager and many more.

This combination provides an ideal platform for
designing multi-radio wireless gateways that
enables fast time-to-market and minimum R&D
risks.

The Bluegiga APx4 software can be easily extended or tailored customizing the Linux operating system with applications. The motherboards for the APx4 can be easily extended to include almost anything from 3G modems to Ethernet and audio interfaces to and touch screen displays.

The Bluegiga APx4 is an ideal product for applications requiring wireless or wired connectivity technologies and the processing power of the ARM9 processor, such as health and fitness gateways, building and home automation gateways, M2M, point-of-sale and industrial connectivity.

APPLICATIONS:
• Health gateways
• M2M connectivity
• Fitness gateways
• Home and building automation
• Point-of-sale gateways
• People and asset tracking

Technical data

Power supply input range Power supply polarity Size Power consumption*
6V-24V DC + in center 180 x 120mm Idle 0.9W, Boot 1.25W, WiFi Tx 1.8W
• Power drawn from the USB port and power to display is excluded
• Any power supply can be used as long as the input range and polarity are correct, but we recommend
using the one supplied with the development kit.
• In case you are using your own power supply, please check the polarity of the power supply.

Positive voltage is in center. Incorrect polarity will damage the board.

Note The current measurement header must have a jumper installed in order to supply voltage to APx4.
