The NEM-101 is a hardware/software platform developed by Tamura Corporation as a modular and open source subset of digital signal processing (DSP) functions. It includes a 32-bit embedded microprocessor, a signal-processing engine, a real-time operating system (RTOS), and a development environment that allows the creation of custom DSP algorithms. Tamura's NEM-101 is designed to be used in applications such as industrial automation, security, automotive, consumer electronics, and medical care. It has a powerful architecture that enables development of custom DSP algorithms, as well as integration of other sensor and I/O devices. It is a powerful, yet cost-effective, solution for any embedded system.
