Less than one minute read time.

Hi I'm very excited to announce of the release of a new product we have been working on for the last few months called the Cortex-M Prototyping System, as part of the Versatile Express family of products. This development board is targeted at the evaluation and prototyping of Cortex-M based designs. It comes provided with fixed encrypted images of all the Cortex-M series of ARM Processors (M0, M0+,M1,M3 & M4) and an application note for Cortex-M0 design start in an example subsystem which is user modifiable. It is fully supported in ARM DS-5 and KEIL MDK with example projects for each. It is any ideal platform for the evaluation of the different Cortex-M processors and FPGA prototyping to allow early device driver development.

It offers

  • ~150K Logic Elements for user prototyping
  • 8MB of single cycle SRAM, 16MB of PSRAM
  • IO expansion
  • Wide range of debug connectors
  • Encryption support
  • Peripherals including Ethernet, audio, VGA, UART, SPI & touch screen.

Further information is available here. The board is available now order code V2M-MPS2-0318A at an affordable price of $995

    Great Liam to see how the board is being used. Maybe you could edit the blog and embed the video so people see it from within your blog?

    Very smart how users can evaluate so many different Microcontrollers with one low-cost board.
    Also, good to see Altera Cyclone being used for prototyping. You can do quite a lot with 150K LEs.

    This is a good news for development in early stage. Can't wait to place an order.
