Evaluation board NXHX 500-ETM

Overview
The netX NXHX 500-ETM is a software development board designed to evaluate netX-based single-chip solutions. It integrates a 32-bit/200 MHz ARM CPU and comprehensive peripheral interfaces, enabling concurrent execution of network protocols and application code on a real-time operating system.

Development board details
The board provides a universal hardware platform with an integrated debug interface and is delivered with the HiTOP development environment (including an integrated GNU compiler). You can load and run your application with the supplied protocol stacks and combine it with the licence-free rcX Real-Time Kernel for testing and evaluation. The complete circuit diagram is provided as a basis for hardware development, excluding the debug interface. A JTAG breakout on the board allows connection of external debug probes (e.g., Hitex Tantino) to reproduce the same user interface and functionality.
