Arduino Tian

The Arduino Tian unleashes the power of a small computer running Linux, connected to a 32-bit microcontroller. The Tian is the next logical iteration of the Arduino Yun, upgrading both the microcontroller and microprocessor, and even featuring onboard Bluetooth 4.0! The Arduino Tian is an amazing way to incorporate the ease of Arduino into your next IoT project.

The Arduino Tian board is powered by Atmel’s SAMD21 MCU, featuring a 32-bit ARM Cortex^® M0+ core and a Qualcomm Atheros AR9342, which is a highly integrated MIPS processor operating at up to 533MHz, and feature-rich IEEE802.11n 2x2 2.4/5GHz dual-band WiFi module. Qualcomm Atheros MIPS supports a Linux distribution, based on OpenWRT named Linino. The Arduino Tian also has a built-in 4GB eMMC memory. It is possible to switch ON/OFF the Linux port from the MCU to reduce the power consumption.
