WaRP is a small form factor development platform / reference design aimed at innovators and developers creating wearables and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Sports activity bands, and smartwatches are abundant, but those barely touch the surface of what’s possible with wearable computing and IoT. With so many great applications yet to been realized, now is the opportunity to innovate and develop new ideas. WaRP can help you make your idea a reality.

The Warp Interposer Development Board is designed to allow easy development with the Warp SBC.

Features:

– Connect to Warp board, providing USB based serial console access

– Brings out most interfaces to standard (0.1″) pins

– Attach a battery or use an external power supply for continuous development

– Push buttons provided for development

– Boot Mode jumper (BM0) for serial boot loader access.

– Monitor serial traffic between warp and daughter board

– Status LED to show if connected battery level is too low

Original designers are Revo and Kynetics respectively, in charge of hardware and software. However now the warpx.io community wants to be the point of reference for any developer or professional who needs support.

Warp is totally open – schematics, BOM (released with Creative Common License) and software, which include different open source licenses. You can freely customize and redesign the warp_0x01 with no obligations towards the original designers.

Yes! You can order your Warp board from here.

Warp supports both Linux and Android. We are currently shipping boards with Linux kernel 4.1 running Yocto Linux. We also have Android running on warp but this requires a display.

The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. It was founded in 2010 as a collaboration among many hardware manufacturers, open-source operating systems vendors, and electronics companies to bring some order to the chaos of embedded Linux development.

Warp can run without the Interposer board, but because it’s so small, it can be difficult to work with warp especially during early development and prototyping. We developed the Interposer to make it easier to work with this platform.

Yup, our resources page *should* have the files you’re looking for. Let us know if you can’t find something.

The warpx mailing list / google group is a good place to start. You can join the community discussion there. The questions that you have may already be answered.

We also offer commercial support to customers looking for design and integration support. Contact us for further information.

Yes definitely! You can find our codebase on github.  Also, join the mailing list to share and contribute with the community and other warp developers.
