*Development
Boards
In
combination with a Development Board and other Add-On hardware,
Phytec insert-ready OEM Single Board Computer modules yield an evaluation
platform enabling easy assessment of the features and functions
of target microcontrollers.
Phytec
Development Boards are fully equipped with all mechanical and electrical
components necessary for the speedy and secure implementation and
subsequent programming of Phytec Single Board Computer modules.
Simple configuration of jumper pins readies the Development Board's
connectivity to any compatible Phytec module, which plug pins-down
into the receptacle connector on the applicable Development Board.
Interface signals (RS-232, RS-485, CAN, Ethernet, BDM-JTAG) are
routed from the controller and applicable transceivers to the break-out
pins on the modules. When mounted on the Development Board, these
signals are, in turn, broken out from the module to DB-9 and other
applicable interface connectors on the Development Board, enabling
easy access to primary communication signals.
*Add-On
Hardware
Download
of user code to the module from a host-IP is enabled via RS-232,
with the help of Phytec FlashTools, or JTAG/BDM/OCDS for modules
supporting devices with on-chip debug interfaces.
Phytec
Development Boards featuring an Expansion Bus take this modular
concept one step further. Add-On Hardware such as the GPIO provide
additional hardware -sucha as LEDs, a DC brushless motor, potentiometers,
push buttons and peripheral device connectors - to simulate and
test controller features on the underlying modules. The Bare PCB
expansion board enables easy implementation of user-designed peripheral
hardware and circuitry, as well as break-out of controller signals,
on its wire wrap area.
Once
programmed, Phytec SBC modules can be removed from the Development
Board environment and inserted into target hardware.
*kitCONs:
Dedicated Evalboards
The
kitCON is a high-performance, EURO-format-sized (160 x 100mm) evaluation
board. All peripheral hardware needed for immediate power-up is
on-board's standard wrap field (90 x 60 mm). In essence, the kitCON
integrates a Phytec stand-alone insert-ready SBC module and a Development
Board on a single PCB. Phytec kitCON boards are featured in Starter
Kits from such silicon manufacturers as Infineon and Silicon Storage
Technologies
