Aludel Elixir Early Access
Get access to the infinitely extensible development board for your next project. This is the board that's used in Golioth's very popular Reference Designs. The Aludel Elixir board offers Cellular, Wi-Fi, GNSS, power handling, and more! View all product specs below.



Main processor - nRF9160 (LTE-M, NB-IOT, GNSS)
The Dual Cortex-M33 runs Zephyr and is one of our favorite targets for the Golioth Firmware SDK. It is what we use throughout our Golioth Reference Designs, which means you will have access to a library of precompiled binaries for this very board.
Secondary Processor - ESP32-C3 (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
This is often run in AT mode so we can offload the cellular modem (in the case of poor coverage) or supplement the GNSS with Wi-Fi location services.
Board Cost - $150 + shipping
This board is being sold "at cost" for a low quantity production. We are working on cost-down measure for future versions of this hardware. Includes LTE / GNSS antenna, unactivated Hologram SIM, and standoffs.
Pre-compiled binaries to build out your first design, are of course free :-D
Select add-on's available:
- Ostentus front panel
- Case with 3D printed inserts
- Battery cover (we won't sell/ship lithium batteries, but will point you at the ones we use that fit well)
If you're interested in these, please include what else you need in the "Do you need help building out other parts of your project" section above.
Power - Battery charging, Fuel Gauge, HV input
- Low quiescent buck circuit, inherited from Feather Board
- 5V boost to service the 5V output on the MikroBus
- Battery charging
- Fuel gauge
- High voltage input (5.5V to 48V) for powering from things like OBD-II and industrial supplies
- Power Switching - Power switch of 3V3 for sensor nodes to shut down in low power situations
Built in sensors / Peripherals - Weather, Accelerometer, RTC, Secure Element, Buzzer
- BME280 - Weather sensor from Bosch, common to many Golioth designs
- LIS2DH12 - Accelerometer, inherited from Feather board
- PWM Buzzer - Allow audible indication similar to the Thingy91
- Real Time Clock - Currently placed as PCF85063BTL, but should be PCF85063ATL
- Secure Element - The ATECC608A can hold private keys and generate signing requests for your PKI.
