Morse Micro has recently launched the MM6108-EKH05 Wi-Fi HaLow Evaluation Kit designed to reduce the development and deployment time of IoT products. Built around the Morse Micro MM6108 HaLow SoC, this kit combines long-range, low-power wireless connectivity with a range of integrated sensors, making it ideal for IoT engineers and developers.
Key features include Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity, an STM32U585 Cortex-M33 MCU, integrated sensors (temperature, humidity, accelerometer), 16 MB of SPI Flash memory, programmable GPIOs, power measurement tools, and WPA3 security for reliable and secure communication. The kit also includes alternative power options including USB, battery, or external power, and embeds support for a camera, MikroBus and Qwicc expansion modules, Bluetooth, and current measurement circuitry. All these features make this kit useful for applications including smart homes, industrial automation, and agricultural monitoring.

In terms of software, the MM6108-EKH05 Wi-Fi HaLow Evaluation Kit comes with a CMSIS software pack, which includes device drivers and libraries for Arm Cortex-based MCUs. There is also the MM IoT SDK based on FreeRTOS plus LwIP/FreeRTOS+TCP network stacks. Additionally, PlatformIO integration allows developers to use this multi-platform build system and Arduino libraries for development within their preferred IDE.
Previously we have written about the HaLo TD-XPAH WiFi HaLow development board and various modules including the Alfa Networks AHST7394S Wi-Fi HaLow, the Quectel FGH100M Wi-Fi HaLow module, and the WiFi HaLow IoT gateway, all of which uses use the Morse Micro MM6104, MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs.
The MM6108-EKH05 Wi-Fi HaLow Evaluation Kit is available on Mouser for $235.50. More information about the product can be found on the product brief or the company’s press release page.
