Every milestone on the journey to bringing Kypros to market. Transparent progress — updated as we hit each target.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CE marking, FCC Part 15, and UKCA compliance submissions. RF emissions testing. RoHS documentation. Everything required to legally sell in the UK, EU, and US markets.
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.
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.
Whether you're a maker waiting for early access or an investor who sees the potential — there's a seat at the table.
