Evaluation board NXHX 51-ETM

Product type
Development board for netX-based evaluation and software/hardware integration (part number 7763.200).

Overview
The netX network controller with its 32-bit ARM core provides high processing performance and comprehensive peripheral functions for single-chip solutions in cost-sensitive applications. Network protocol stacks and the user application share netX resources and run in a Real-Time operating system.

Development and evaluation
The netX software development board is the simplest and most economical option to evaluate the complete system. The board includes universal hardware, an integrated debug interface, and is supplied with the HiTOP development environment by Hitex. You can load and run your application on the board, use Hilscher protocol stacks, and combine them with the licence-free rcX Real-Time Kernel. HiTOP includes an integrated GNU compiler and provides a full development and debug environment. The complete circuit diagram (except the debug interface) is provided as a basis for hardware development. The board’s JTAG interface allows connection of external debuggers (e.g., Hitex Tantino) to develop and test with the same user interface and functionality.
