Hardware

Specifications:

• 32-bit architecture.
• Powered by Tibbo OS (TiOS).
• 10/100BaseT auto-MDIX Ethernet port with RJ45/magnetics.
• Optional Wi-Fi interface (requires the WA2000 add-on module).
• Optional BLE interface (requires the WA2000 add-on module).
• Optional 4G/LTE cellular interface (requires Tibbit #45).
• 3 tiles with 24 general-purpose I/O lines:
  • 6 sockets for Tibbit modules;
  • 6 sockets for Tibbit connectors;
  • 1 extra socket for Tibbit #37 (RF connector);
  • 4 Tibbit module sockets have UART capability:
    • Baudrates of up to 460,800bps;
    • None*/even/odd/mark/space parity modes;
    • 7* or 8 bits/character;
    • Full-duplex mode w. RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF flow control;
    • Half-duplex mode with direction control;
    • Encoding/decoding of Wiegand, clock/data streams.
  • Each module socket has an interrupt capability;
  • 1 module socket has PoE capability;
  • 4 remappable synchronous serial ports with SPI and I2C modes.
• Onboard buzzer.
• Connectors for the TFT LCD and sensor keypad of the TPB2L.
• RTC with a backup supercapacitor.
• 66KB SRAM for Tibbo BASIC/C variables and data.
• 1MB flash for TiOS and application code.
• Additional 1MB flash for the hardened fault-tolerant file system.
• 2048-byte EEPROM for data storage.
• Eight onboard LEDs:
  • Green and red main status LEDs;
  • Yellow Ethernet link LED;
  • Five blue LEDs (for Wi-Fi signal strength indication, etc.).
• Software-controlled PLL allows selecting full, medium, or low speed.
• Reliable power-on/ brown-out reset circuit.
• Power: 100mA @ 5V (100Base-T mode, full speed).
• Dimensions (LxW): 94 x 94mm.
• Operating temperature range: -40 ~ +70°C.
• Firmware is upgradeable through:
  • The serial port;
  • Ethernet LAN; or
  • Over-the-air (requires the WA2000 and an iOS or Android device).
• Tibbo BASIC/C application can be debugged through the Ethernet LAN.
• CE- and FCC- certified.

*The TPP2(G2) does not support the combination of the 7 bits/character mode and the "none" parity mode.
