“We only worked in areas where we believed we could be the best in the world at leveraging technology, analytics and innovation to promote energy stewardship to benefit the energy industry,” added Joel Gilbert, Co-Founder. “In founding and building Apogee, my husband Joel and I stayed intently focused on our strengths and passion for excellence,” said Susan Gilbert, Co-Founder of Apogee. The unified entity is backed by M33 Growth, a growth-stage investment firm that partners with founders and management teams who have bootstrapped their businesses to a point where they are aiming to breakthrough as market leaders.Īpogee has been empowering utilities with customer engagement solutions for two decades. and AUSTIN, Texas, J(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Apogee Interactive – a provider of customer engagement, education, and communication software – and AIQUEOUS – a provider of customer relationship and program management software – have combined to create a premier customer relationship & engagement platform for utilities and utility service providers. Products MSP430 microcontrollers MSP430FR2311 - 16-MHz integrated analog microcontroller with 3.Trusted Partner for Utility Customer Engagement To keep data storage constant, the non-volatile storage library contains functions that store data in a way that is guaranteed to recover the last valid entry without data corruption. That means an unintended reset or power loss while data is written to the non-volatile memory will can result in partial data write and corrupted entries. MSP430 devices with FRAM non-volatile memory guarantee 16-bit writes in all scenarios however more often than not the data being stored is a larger data type or a structure containing multiple types. ![]() Non-Volatile Storage (NVS): Library that makes handling of non-volatile data easy and robust against intermittent power loss or asynchronous device resets. This utility also takes advantage of the 256-bit AES hardware accelerator present on MSP430FR5xx and MSP430FR6xx devices to create random bytes. Random numbers are generated using seed information stored in the TLV tables that are unique to each device. Random Number Generator (RNG): Implementation of a counter mode deterministic random byte generator (CTR-DRBG) according to the NIST SP 800-90A Rev 1 specification. This can enable increased storage capacity of FRAM devices as well as reduced wireless transmission time for over-the-air software updates or sensor data to a host device. The LZ4 compression utility includes an open source command line tool that can be used to compress or decompress the same LZ4 files on a PC or host processor. LZ4 compression utility: A software utility that offers real time compression and decompression on embedded MSP430FRxx devices. When power is restored the CTPL shutdown function restores the state and program execution continues. It also enables a new shutdown mode to detect when power is lost either internally using an ADC or comparator peripheral or externally with an energy harvesting IC providing a GPIO interrupt that puts the device into shutdown mode. ![]() The utility enables application execution using the power-saving low-power modes 3.5 or 4.5, with the new ability to save and restore system state. The CTPL utility leverages the non-volatile FRAM to provide an easier solution for embedded software developers. This can increase the start-up time and the complexity of applications. Traditionally, use of the low-power-mode 3.5 and 4.5 on MSP430 MCUs requires waking up with neither application state nor peripheral state retained. The utilities are available for MSP430FRxx FRAM microcontrollers and provide example code to help start application development.Ĭompute Through Power Loss (CTPL): A utility API set that enables ease of use with LPMx.5 low-power modes and a powerful shutdown mode that allows an application to save and restore critical system components when a power loss is detected. The Texas Instruments FRAM Utilities is designed to grow as a collection of embedded software utilities that leverage the ultra-low-power and virtually unlimited write endurance of FRAM.
