This is a new devbrd which i got from FriendlyARM, having S3c2440 ARM9 Processor from Samsung, 1GB NAND Flash, 3.5 inch diagnl TFT screen, USB host, SD card interface, Audio Out, RTC and many more features...capable of running WinCE, Linux 2.6.3 , Android, etc....This board is highly recommended if you wish to learn RTOS or Embedded Linux/WinCE.
All you need is a windows or linux computer and you can get started.
There are a lot of Projects you can do with this board other than learning RTOS, like-1) Autonomous Robot with Image Processing
2) Mini Pdf/doc Reader
3) Mini gaming console (with your own games!)
4) GPIO projects.
....and many more
I got this board from www.rhydolabz.com at a price of INR 8800/- + shipping.....
currently i am developing modules for the linux kernel so that it can be used for controling an autonomous robot...
You say you bought this from FriendlyARM? From the black PCB and LCD bezel shape, it looks like a Hiteg Mini2440V2 (or MarkII) and a Hiteg MegaLCD, not a FriendlyARM Min2440. Hitegs are were black, now green. FAs are blue and don't support the MegaLCD extra features. Are you sure you didn't get it form developmentboard.net?
ReplyDeletewell..its a lil complicated..In India these boards are sold by rhydolabz.com which imports them from both Hiteg and FA, but does not sell them in the original packaging...The Manual which i got was of Hiteg though...the board came preloaded with WinCE and the dvd didnt have the original zlinux image as per the manual..
ReplyDeletehey charles...do you know how to execute GPIO operations using Linux...do i have to config the kernel ??
ReplyDeleteHey Arjun,
ReplyDeleteDid you try using Android on your board. If yes was the performance satisfactory ?
