ARM announced the new ARM® Cortex®-M Prototyping System as part of the Versatile™ family of products.
This development board is targeted at the evaluation and prototyping of the Cortex-M based designs. It comes provided with fixed encrypted images of the Cortex-M series of processors and an application note for the Cortex-M0 processor design start in an example subsystem which is user modifiable. The system is fully supported in the ARM software development tools ARM DS-5 and KEIL® MDK-ARM™ with example projects for each. It is an ideal platform for the evaluation of the different Cortex-M series processors and FPGA prototyping, to allow early device driver development.
The ARM® Cortex®-M Prototyping System 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
