Several of the newest development kits available are :

The new open source, single board platform Revolutionizing the Internet of Things (RIoT) board, based on Freescale's i.MX 6Solo processor, and supported by an active Community at element14, and application developers at RIoTboard.org

The powerful new PSoC 4 Pioneer Development Kit from Cypress lets designers discover the capabilities of the new PSoC 4 programmable system-on-chip architecture, which combines Cypress's best-in-class PSoC analog and digital fabric with ARM's power-efficient Cortex-M0 core, available at cn.element14.com/2361045

element14 has partnered with Freescale to launch the MagniV S12ZVML-MINIBRD, a low cost and easy to use variable speed motor control development kit. The kit includes both the hardware and software needed to get a variable speed motor up and running quickly and is ideal for Sensorless BLDC or PMSM motor control as well as Bidirectional DC motors (H-Bridge).

Atmel's new SAMA5D3 Xplained evaluation kit, a low-cost fast prototyping and evaluation platform for microprocessor-based design, comes with a rich set of ready-to-use connectivity and storage peripherals, along with Arduino shield-compatible expansion headers for easy customization - a perfect target for headless Android, too.

For HMI (human-machine interface) element14 and Texas Instruments have created the HapTouch BoosterPack that allows developers to rapidly integrate haptics technology into their designs. It combines MSP430TCH5E haptics MCUs and TI's DRV2603 haptic driver into a familiar game controller form factor; available at cn.element14.com/2362893

A high performance full NFC expansion board, EXPLORE-NFC, for implementing external user interfaces for industrial and consumer devices that meet NFC compliance with Reader and P2P modes and Card Emulation standards. Based on the PN512 NFC solution from NXP Semiconductors, the board features an integrated antenna, extensive software package and a flexible SPI interface.

The low-power, low-cost device in the PSoC 1 family features Cypress' new CY8C24x93 low-power PSoC1 and brings the power of PSoC to life in an ultra low-power and low-pin count configuration, available at cn.element14.com/2356856

Ravi Pagar, Regional Director - South Asia, element14 Asia Pacific, continued: "element14 is uniquely placed to partner with key silicon providers enabling element14 to become the home of the development board where we can support the engineer right from the start of the design through to production. The investments we have made in our inventory and pricing allows us to better support customers for all their requirements on development kits and tools."
