## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS102080027:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SS102080027:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Arch Mix is a thin, lightweight development board based on NXP i.MX RT1052 processor(3020 CoreMark/1284 DMIPS @ 600 MHz). This development board comes pre-installed RT-Thread real-time operating system and built-in micro-python. Which makes it suitable for industrial control, especially for scenes with large code and high real-time application requirements.

The i.MX RT1052 is a new processor family featuring NXP’s advanced implementation of the Arm Cortex®-M7 core. Currently, the i.MX RT1052 is the highest performing Cortex-M7 solution delivering 3036 CoreMarks, which is 13 times better than the LPC1788 microcontroller. In addition to the high-speed performance it provides fast real-time responsiveness. The i.MX RT1050 also has rich audio and video features, including LCD display, basic 2D graphics, camera interface, SPDIF, and I2S audio interface.

The RT-Thread is an open source IoT operating system for embedded devices. The kernel has real-time multi-task scheduling, semaphore, mutex, mail box, message queue, signal etc. This is a lightweight system that loads quickly. For more detail about the RTOS, please refer to the [Github Page](https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread).

Also, Seeed Studio are very excited to announce that there will soon be a Grove breakout board and MicroPython libraries available for use with Grove! This means that plug-and-play prototypes for industrial control and IoT projects will soon be possible, so stay tuned!

Note

RT-Thread has complete and detailed Chinese materials and community resources , also provide a complete set of development tools and debug tools. We will continue to update relevant English materials and resources in our wiki.
