Concept & Architecture

Defined the Kypros vision — a single-board computer that consolidates WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, Zigbee, Matter, Gigabit Ethernet, stereo audio, ultrasonic sensing, and camera input into a Pico-class footprint. Selected NXP i.MX RT1176 as the core processor.

Schematic Design

Full schematic captured in KiCad — every subsystem from the dual-core processor to the 6-radio Murata module, SGTL5000 audio codec, ultrasonic MEMS microphone, LiPo charging circuit, CSI camera interface, and Gigabit Ethernet PHY. All datasheets cross-referenced, all power rails validated.

PCB Layout & Routing

8-layer HDI PCB fully routed at 69×18mm. High-speed differential pairs for USB, Ethernet RGMII, and SDIO. Impedance-controlled traces. Ground planes optimised for RF performance across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Manufacturing-ready Gerbers generated.

Prototyping & Software Development

PCBs being fabricated and assembled. Software development running in parallel — Arduino IDE board package, MCUXpresso BSP, and core firmware actively in development. This is where the schematic becomes a real, physical board.

Hardware Validation & Testing

Full electrical testing across every subsystem — processor boot, WiFi 6 throughput, Bluetooth pairing, Zigbee mesh, audio codec validation, microphone sensitivity, CSI camera interface, Gigabit Ethernet throughput, and battery charging cycles. Thermal profiling under sustained load.

Production & Launch

Volume manufacturing. Maker edition available via Crowd Supply. Enterprise samples shipped. Distribution partnerships activated. The Kypros board goes from prototype to product — in the hands of makers and engineers worldwide.

⚡ Software — Pending Final Release

The Kypros hardware is designed to work with the tools makers and engineers already use. Full software support — including Arduino IDE integration, MCUXpresso SDK, and CircuitPython — is currently in development and will ship alongside the first production boards.
