Rapid Development Kits

From Evaluation to Integration: Accelerate Your Development

Rapid Development Kit Overview:

PHYTEC Rapid Development Kits enable immediate and successful start-up of the entire line of 8-, 16- and 32-bit insert-ready phyCORE Single Board Computers

Each kit contains a phyCORE module mounted on a Carrier Board that features all hardware needed for immediate power-up of the module; including DB-9 nodes (configurable as RS-232 and/or RS-485/CAN interfaces), power connectors and a wire wrap field for easy integration of user-designed peripheral hardware/circuitry. The PHYTEC Spectrum CD-ROM provides complete electronic documentation and evaluation software development tools to accompany the hardware.  Spectrum's installation wizard allows users to select applicable software development tools (from Keil, TASKING and Metrowerks), example programs, complete electronic documentation and PHYTEC FlashTools for installation to a project folder on a host-PC.

PHYTEC Carrier Boards featuring an Expansion Bus take the PHYTEC modular concept one step further.  Just as PHYTEC Carrier Boards break-out all applicable signals from the underlying Single Board Computer module, the Expansion Bus breaks out all applicable signals from the underlying Single Board Computer module to high-density Molex 1x160-pin or 2x160-pin connectors on the Carrier Board.  Add-On Hardware connects to all applicable Carrier Boards that offer an Expansion Bus.

Hardware schematics and an extensive QuickStart Instructions are also provided, offering several example programs for use with the included software tools.  PHYTEC Rapid Development Kits truly offer a Rapid Development solution by providing you with all the necessary ingredients with which to jump start your embedded design, reduce time-to-market and propel your concept to prototype and finished product.

PHYTEC backs up this Rapid Development Kit Concept with a Start-Up Guarantee. Should you encounter any unexpected difficulties in executing any of the example programs contained within the Kit, we invite you to make free use of our Technical Support until the problem is solved.
