The CIU Development Kit is your all-in-one starter package for building and testing with North Atlantic Industries’ Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) technology. Everything you need—hardware, breakout tools, power supply, pinout templates, and software—is in one box, so you can go from unboxing to running applications in hours, not days.
At the heart of the CIU Development Kit is the COSA® Integration Unit (CIU3) hardware, which is a versatile, compact, low-power, self-contained multifunction I/O system, preconfigured with four serial RS-232/422/485 communications channels, a four-channel A/D converter, twelve-channel programmable discrete I/O, four-channel ARINC 429/575, two-channel CANBus, and one-channel MIL-STD-1553 functionality. The CIU3 can also be configured with up to three smart Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) function modules. It features a dual-core (quad-core optional) ARM® Cortex®-A53 processor for customer applications, as well as I/O and communications management. The CIU3 is equipped with two 10/100/1000BASE-T (GbE) Ethernet ports and an RS-232 serial debug port for maintenance, diagnostics, or configuration. Ideally suited for rugged applications and development, the CIU3 delivers off-the-shelf solutions that accelerate the deployment of SWaP-optimized systems across air, land, and sea platforms. This scalable platform empowers your development process, reduces risk, and accelerates product deployment.
