Contents
- Platform development kit with hardware, software, cables
- Imsys IM3220 processor module with IEEE1588 profile
- Socket board with access to GPIO ports, serial channels, Ethernet and Expansion Bus
- Imsys Developer including C compiler and debugging tools
- Trace adapter for PC host communication.
Overview
The DK3-3220 is a complete kit for the development environment of Imsys' new family of microcontrollers. The new microcontroller platform has an innovative architecture specialized in communication and efficiency. Levering its reconfigurability, hardware-like performance can be achieved through low level acceleration of firmware. The design environment enables the programmer to manage projects with configurations for different applications. The DK3-3220 kit supports development of the IEEE1588 time synchronization applications.
The system architecture for the Development Kit is modular. An FX10 connector based CPU plug-in module connects into a socket board. The socket board interfaces to the target applications and development systems through physical layer components. The plug-in module contains an Imsys microcontroller with a standard configuration of flash and DRAM together with clock circuitry. The 100 signal pins of the FX10 connector make all user signals of the IM3220 processor available in the socket board.
The Development Kit contains all necessary hardware and software to develop applications for this architecture including a featured IEEE1588 protocol stack.
Features
- Ethernet 10/100 auto-sensing PHY with RJ-45 jack
- Two RS-232 ports with 9-pin connectors, third port via USB or pin header
