− | == Overview ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The goal is to have a small, cheap, and powerful development board
| + | |
− | that supports USB for easy programming, at low parts costs (current
| + | |
− | estimate < $5). This allows us to use the board for all silly purposes
| + | |
− | where spending >$20 for an Arduino is just too much. The board is like
| + | |
− | the [http://pjrc.com/teensy/index.html Teensy], just with an ARM
| + | |
− | microcontroller instead.

− | 48-pin microcontroller which has an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU
| + | |
− | 32-bit CPU core.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Features:
| + | |
− | * up to 50MHz
| + | |
− | * 32KKB-128KKB program flash, 4KKB-16KKB RAM, 4KKB data flash, 4KKB boot loader flash
| + | |
− | * 2 UART, 1 SPI, 2 I2C, USB, 1 analog comparator, 4 PWM, 8 12-bit ADC channels
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The board contains:
| + | |
− | * USB A connector on board outline
| + | |
− | * optional Mini-USB receptacle
| + | |
− | * USB header connector for direct wire connections (e.g. inside PC)
| + | |
− | * optional voltage regulator for external voltage (up to 13V)
| + | |
− | * optional LiPo battery charger IC for battery operation
| + | |
− | * LiPo charger can be driven from a solar panel
| + | |
− | * SWD debug/programming header
| + | |
− | * reset button
| + | |
− | * 1 LED for binary debug/information display

− | | + | |
− | === Hardware design ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In beta state. Version 1 boards have been fabbed and need to be
| + | |
− | tested and assembled
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Errata/changes required for next version:
| + | |
− | * probably a problem with 3.3V circuit operation and battery: PMOS gate only gets pulled up to 3.3V, but likely needs the full battery voltage
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === Toolchain ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Proprietary windows software is available, but we'd like to have
| + | |
− | complete support with free software tools.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ==== What works ====
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * gcc/binutils/gdb support ARM Cortex-M0
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ==== What needs work ====
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Programming/Debugging: [http://openocd.berlios.de/web/ OpenOCD] supposedly supports SWD. Needs to be confirmed what works.
| + | |
− | * Need bootloader and programming software. Proprietary from Nuvoton available
| + | |
− | * Tool library?
