One can have the experience with powerful, Arduino compatible, flexible microcontroller board with ARM Cortex M3 core processor from the joint hands of SparkFun and Cypress semiconductors. The FreeSoc2 is SparkFun’s PSoC5LP development board with two processors CY8C5868LTI-LP039 and CY8C5888AXI-LP096 while the former serves as the programmer/debugger for the latter.
The PSoC (Programmable System on a Chip) brings together features of the programmable devices and microcontroller-type systems on chips into one package. By placing a programmable fabric between the peripherals and the pins, the FreeSoC2 allows any function to be routed to any pin! Moreover, the on-board PSoC includes a number of programmable blocks which allow the user to define arbitrary digital and analog circuits for their specific application.To get the most out of the device, you will need to use the PSoC Creator IDE (which is free of charge with no code limits from Cypress Semiconductor). Sadly PSoC Creator software is Windows-only at this time.
Specs:
- Cortex M3 processor core at 80 MHz speed
- 256 kb flash memory
- Two USB ports
- 64 kb of SRAM
- 2 kb of EEPROM
Advantages of FreeSoc2:
- Works on both 5V and 3.3V, voltage selection through switch, so no need to worry about logic level convertors. Similarly for the sensors of 3.3V and 5V based.
- On board debugger.
- With the help of PSOC creater IDE, any function can be routed to any pins.
- Compatible with Arduino IDE (higher than 1.6.4)
- The on-board PSoC includes a number of programmable blocks which allow the user to define arbitrary digital and analog circuits for their specific application.
- It is also one among the few ARM boards that is completely 5V friendly.
