Description:
The uNiBoard version 1.1 is an ideal development platform for Embedded and Real Time systems programming. Powered by a RISC machine (ATmega128) that provides a throughput of 16 MIPS and up to 128KB of internal storage (flash), the board is suitable for any sort of embedded application development
Features:
On-board peripherals like Joystick along with the communication port (RS232) and the Gtkterm driver (hyper-terminal for Windows) make the board apt for basic game (refer application notes in user manual) development (on VT102 based terminals) in an Embedded (non-OS) as well as OS based environment. RT Kernels with small footprint (uC/OS-II, FreeRTOS, nut OS) can be ported on the board to gain hands-on experience of Real time application design
The board along with its content-rich user manual is a perfect companion to have for hobbyists/aspirants seeking a career in Embedded software design, since it can accommodate preliminary applications like port control or sensor data processing built on Embedded C to complex real time applications built on RTOS like DAS (Data Acquisition Systems), embedded web-server, FAT FS for embedded systems and more.
