Impinj RAIN RFID Reader Chip Developer Tools
Impinj reader chip developer tools simplify device development enabling designers to bring new, innovative RAIN RFID readers, modules, and devices to market quickly with lower development costs.
Impinj Reader Chip Software Development Kit
Impinj E family reader chip software development kit (SDK) for host processor devices delivers a developer-friendly Application Programming Interface (API) for interfacing to Impinj reader chips. The SDK offers powerful reader use case examples to accelerate design and provides source code for flexible design of a host controller. The SDK includes host library source code, configuration code examples in C and Python, user documentation, and firmware.
Impinj Reader Chip Development Kit
Impinj reader chip development kits are an evaluation platform and starting point for embedded reader designs using Impinj E family reader chips. Used together with the Impinj reader chip SDK, the reader chip development kit includes the hardware required to build a reader circuit using Impinj E family reader chips. Connect the development board to a host processor device that runs the Impinj reader chip SDK. The same developer board is compatible with the entire Impinj E family reader chip and:.
- Provides interoperability and flexible use
- Delivers high-performance, 2-port reader design example
- Provides access to source files to accelerate hardware designs
Impinj R515 Reader Reference Design
Impinj R515 reader reference design, for use with Impinj E910 reader chips, includes a comprehensive package of hardware designs, firmware, and manufacturing support tools that enable fast development, reliable performance, simple deployment, and flexible integration with IoT systems. Qualified Impinj partner reader manufacturers benefit from Impinj reader and RF design and manufacturing expertise which reduces development cost, complexity, risk, and time. The Impinj R515 reader firmware includes enterprise-grade security and allows developers to customize the reader for a wide range of enterprise IoT solutions, using the IoT device interface for simplifying enterprise deployments.
