FTDI 'bundler' FT90x MikroE kompilere med gratis hardware
I samarbejde med MikroElektronika (MikroE) tilbyder FTDI nu en ny kosteffektiv udviklingspakke baseret på FDTI's FT90x MCU serie (in english).
FTDI Chip has taken further steps to help engineers implement better embedded systems using its cutting-edge microcontroller technology. Working in conjunction with MikroElektronika (MikroE), the company is now marketing a cost effective development package based on the ground-breaking FT90x MCU series. What’s more, the company is exclusively providing customers with a free MikroE Clicker 2 board worth $39.95 with every FT90x Compiler license purchase and furthermore offers free shipping worldwide on the package.The FT90x offering created through the partnership with MikroE showcases the capabilities of FT90X devices, each of which features a 32-bit proprietary processing core and substantial memory resources (256kBytes of Flash memory, 64kBytes of on-chip data memory and 256kBytes of shadow RAM). Thanks to the shadow RAM, instructions can be executed with the highest degree of efficiency. This results in zero wait state operation at speeds of 100MHz - a performance benchmark that puts it way ahead of many rival microcontroller products.
The new FTDI Chip/MikroElektronika package consists of a compelling amalgamation of essential items of hardware and software - with a Clicker 2 for the FT90X board supplied alongside a powerful dedicated compiler.
The compact Clicker 2 board incorporates an FT90X microcontroller plus the supplementary component parts needed for starting off development projects (including power management/battery charging functionality, LED indicators, crystal oscillators, configurable pushbuttons, etc.). In addition, the credit card format board offers straightforward interfacing to a multitude ofadd-on boards via male/female IDC10 interconnects.
There are currently 118 add-on boards available, which are capable of offering a staggering total of nearly 7000 different combinations - thereby maximizing versatility. Through these all manner of different functionality can be integrated into the system design - including wireless communication, motor control, cameras, displays and various sensors.
There are an array of full featured compilers to choose from - covering C, Pascal and Basic programming languages. Engineers can thus pick the best option for them. Each provides a full integrated development environment (IDE) with added library support for all FT90X features plus syntax colour-coded editor and project manager windows. To encourage adoption the FT90X development package is being offered exclusively with free shipping. For a Clicker 2 board with mikroC it is $299, and for the mikroBasic and mikroPascal the cost is $249. Offer available for a limited time only, while stocks last.
