AeroCore 2 Expansion Board for DragonBoard 410C is a more advanced version of the existing Gumstix AeroCore 2 baseboard for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) uses Arrow’s DragonBoard 410C SBC for its brain control. The combo offers a powerful Linux and Android compatible computer, and a MIPI-CSI-2 camera connector along with a connector for a NimbeLink LTE radio.

The 11.5 x 6.65cm AeroCore 2 for Dragonboard 410C runs the open source Nuttx RTOS real-time-task-oriented microcontroller on an ST Microelectronics STM32F427 microconroller (MCU), based on a 168MHz Cortex-M4 core.

The MCU supports low-level machine controls and sensors, while high-level Linux programs running on the DragonBoard 410c manage mission intelligence, including visuals. AeroCore MAV controllers support integration with open source projects like Robot Operating System (ROS), APM-based PX4, and PX4-compatible projects such as QGroundControl and MAVLink.

The new NimbeLink LTE connector supports NimbeLink Skywire LTE modules, which use Digi’s tiny XBee form-factor for wireless devices, and are capable of transmitting data to a laptop.

The new MIPI-CSI-2 serial camera connector supports HD cameras, such as the Raspberry Pi Camera and supports GPS, but the receivers cost extra. Gumstix recommends its Pre-Go series of u-blox NEO 7P GPS/GLONASS receivers, such as the $79 Gumstix Pre-Go Precise Point Positioning GPS receiver. Like the original AeroCore 2, there’s also a Spektrum DSM-2 remote connector for RF support.

The AeroCore 2 for DragonBoard is further equipped with dual micro-USB ports, eight PWMs, three UARTs, I2C and SPI headers, a CAN header, and a 9-axis IMU motion sensor with altimeter and barometer.
