Overview

Description

The Cordless Voice Module (CVM) Development Kit consists of two development boards with headsets, enabling voice connection setup. It enables the easy and cost-effective development of cordless applications and significantly reduces the time-to-market.

All the features of the module are accessible through the pins on the development board, while buttons and LED statuses can be changed and checked. The CVM kit comes with the Athena development environment, an Eclipse-based IDE that provides a development environment for CR16C+ series of microcontrollers, and a GNU cross compiler/linker for CR16 – removing the need for an external µController.

Features

  • Using Flash on the module, makes upgrading easy
  • ETSI DECT (GAP) compliant
  • Connects with up to 6 portable units
  • UART interface for an external host
  • But also Software support for embedded solutions
  • Supports voice and low speed data
  • Power management support

Benefits

  • A one fits all module running on an ETSI standardized protocol in an interference-free band, supporting
    • DECT
    • DECT 6.0
    • J-DECT
    • CAT-iq
  • Operates as Fixed Part or Portable Part
  • Contains the complete protocol stack
