LTTP3, first Linux-based TPS offering

Oct 20, 2016

Pinguinistas of the world, rejoice! Our Tibbo Project System (TPS) family now includes a Linux-based Tibbo Project PCB (LTPP).

Based on the powerful 1GHz Cortex-A8 Sitara CPU from Texas Instruments and carrying 512MB of RAM and 512MB of flash memory, the new LTPP3 board runs our own, highly polished distribution of Linux that capitalises on the latest kernel and drivers.

The LTPP3 fits electrically and mechanically our Tibbit blocks and size 3 Tibbo Project Box (TPB3) enclosures. This distinguishes the LTPP3 from simple vanilla products such as Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. Offering Linux-based computing in a compact housing at a reasonable price, these devices don't overreach themselves to provide an appealing package or a prompt way to add desired I/O resources. In contrast, Tibbo Project System provides elegant and nice to the feel TPB enclosures to house the board, and a great variety of Tibbit modules and connectors to enhance the board's IO capabilities.

The distinctive feature of the TPS is that the top and bottom walls of its enclosures are built by Connector Tibbits. As a result, you have a neat, pro-looking housing even for projects with the minimum production quantity. This solves the problem of any small-batch production operation – when you have to fit into and customize (cut, drill, etc.) standard enclosures.

There are four distinctive ways in which you can use the new LTPP3.

Use it with Embedded AggreGate

Right away upon the release of the LTPP3, your Linux TPS system with Embedded AggreGate software will be available for ordering. Functioning as the board’s execution environment, AggreGate assigns its power of data collection, visualization and processing to the LTPP3. In addition, AggreGate provides a consistent and uniform access to external systems, devices and data using well over 100 supported communications protocols. By means of a custom designed middleware C library, Embedded AggreGate is able to access to the hardware resources of the board, such as serial ports, GPIO lines and Tibbit modules installed in board’s sockets.

Run Node.js applications

LTPP3 comes with Node.js preinstalled. We are currently developing Node.js modules for accessing the board’s hardware resources and installed Tibbit blocks. You can also utilize many existing Node.js modules, such as serialport and socket.io.

Execute TiOS applications

We are currently porting our popular Tibbo OS (TiOS) to Linux. When this work is completed, you will be able to run TiOS as a Linux application and execute existing Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C code with little or no modifications. Needless to say, the new LTPP3 board will crunch Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C apps at unparalleled speeds.

Use the LTPP3 as a generic Linux board...

... that comes in an attractive housing and may be extended with Tibbit blocks. Linux can be utilized in myriad different ways. Choose yours and deliver your project on the LTPP3 board and TPS product family.
