Electronica 2008 - Read our full show coverage from Munich
RS Components has given its first live demo of an embedded development platform (EDP) for prototyping microcontroller designs, which is claimed to be manufacturer-independent.
It allows designers to evaluate different microcontroller technologies and applications for prototype development independently from manufacturers. The aim is to avoid the need for separate development kits for each microcontroller.
“As a common platform, the EDP reduces design and construction times from weeks to days and the project costs by removing the need to purchase and adapt to multiple manufacturer-specific development kits,” said Nick Jefferies, general manager, Electronics at RS Components.
The platform comprises three elements, including a re-usable baseboard, a combination of up to four CPU modules and up to four application modules.
