ADK-84216

The kit consists of a 2-board assembly, comprising a lower MCU board with ARM Cortex M3 16-/32-bit microprocessor and debug interface, and an upper HI-84216 daughtercard to demonstrate the key features of the device. Eclipse C project reference code is already loaded on the Cortex M3 to enable out of the box operation without installing or running any software development tools.

The project source code is included and easily customized to provide a starting point for customer application software development, shortening design cycles, reducing risk and decreasing time to market.
