BlueJay ARM Cortex M33 Modular MultiBoard

PDF datasheet and reference files.

Description. The Black Oak Engineering (BOE) BlueJay ARM Cortex M33 Modular MultiBoard (#BE-BLUJ) goes beyond a typical eval or demo board. It is a Single Board Computer (SBC) designed to take on many jobs. It also makes a good development tool. It is compact, but still large enough to be useful. It is based on the popular and widely available ARM Cortex M33 32 bit processor. It has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C (-40 to +185 °F). It lends itself well to the development of systems for data acquisition, user interface, AI/ML/Edge, IOT, automation, and OEM integration.

BlueJay is modular. There are four quadrants for placing Wing boards. Each Wing quadrant provides power options and general purpose IO. Each may be physically constrained via M2 mounting holes. The design is completely open, so you may easily design your own Wing board. Wing boards exist for analog data acquisition, battery power, Bluetooth, CAN, Ethernet, RS-232, and WiFi. 

A Board Support Package (BSP) and a complete set of various tested drivers are available at our GitHub. BOE releases source code and other collateral under an attached MIT license.

BlueJay has these built-in components:

• SWD interface

• JTAG breakout

• Analog section with 3.00 V Ref.

• Stable primary oscillator.

• 32768 Hz secondary oscillator for RTC.

• Multiple fast SPI & IIC.

• 8Mx8 Flash memory on SQI.

• SQI bus exposed.

• Audio Codec protocols exposed.

• PWM & Position Decoder exposed.

• All IO exposed on 100 mil headers.

• Power from USB or external.

• Multiple power options exposed.

• USB 2.0 Device.

• EMI protections.

• Diagnostic LED.

• Reset switch.

• Made in the USA.

BlueJay may be operated from a standard lithium polymer battery, which BlueJay charges from its power source (USB-C or a header connection).
