Imagination Upgrades CI20 Microcomputer

The device now has out-of-the-box support for FlowCloud connectivity.

Imagination Technologies has upgraded its high-performance, low-power MIPS-based Creator CI20 development board. The device has a PowerVR GPU (graphics processing unit), Imagination’s FlowCloud IoT platform and a modified board layout to optimize Wi-Fi speeds.

This release adds expanded out of the box compatibility for FlowCloud services, which can enable development of IoT applications, the company states. Imagination has also added the latest Android and Linux operating systems to the Creator CI20

“Adding FlowCloud compatibility for Creator CI20 is an exciting step for our burgeoning development board range – and we’re upgrading Wi-Fi performance, software and form factor as well. We conceived the Creator family of low cost development boards to give developers the opportunity to get their hands on a wide range of our technologies from PowerVR GPUs to MIPS CPUs – and there are more Creator boards coming soon. Thanks to full support for FlowCloud, developers now get an incredible out of the box solution – it boots Linux or Android, and through FlowCloud connects to a cloud-based platform ideal for deploying IoT applications quickly. We believe these new features should really capture the imagination of our substantial and growing ecosystem of Creator partners, inspiring new levels of innovation,” says Tony King-Smith, executive vice president, Marketing.
