In this project, we built an STM8S005C6T6 based Ethernet development board for our IoT experiments. This development board consists of ENC28J60 , 10BASE-T stand-alone Ethernet controller, CH340G , USB serial interface, 2 LED indicators, and passive buzzer unit. The firmware framework for this development board has been developed using SDCC . To enable IPv4 support, we convert the EtherCard driver, which is available for the Arduino platform. The current version of this driver supports all other EtherCard functions except TCP support. Finished STM8S005C6T6 IoT development board. In the given design, the SPI terminals of the MCU are connected to the ENC28J60 Ethernet controller. All SPI terminals, such as MISO / PC7 , MOSI / PC6 , and SCK / PC5 , are connected directly to the Ethernet controller. In addition, the PC4 terminal of the MCU is used as ENC28J60, CHIP-SELECT .  The CH340G USB serial interface is connected to the UART2 terminals of the MCU. In STM8S005C6T6, the UAR...

This post is about simple Atmega325 development board which I was designed and build to test some large AVR systems. This development board contains ATmega325 MCU and MAX232 base RS232 driver/receiver unit. Thanks to SMD packages and components dimensions of this board get limited to 85mm × 62mm. This development board requires 5V external power supply and all its external circuitries (RS232 driver and hardware CPU reset) can be enable/disable through on-board jumpers. ATmega325 Development Board PCB design of this development board supports only for ATmega325 - TQFP64 package and MAX232 - SO16L package. This ATmega325 Development Board is release as an open hardware project and all its design files are available to download at google drive .

This is another configurable PIC microcontroller development board with E 2 PROM base storage and RS232 interface. Purpose of this development board is to emulate simple computation platform with storage, processing unit and control terminal. This development board contain LM2576-ADJ base 3A switching voltage regulator (with external power terminals), E 2 PROM base storage (AT24C04) with 512words × 8bit space and standard RS232 serial interface. All the peripherals of this development board can be isolated using onboard jumpers which include crystal oscillator, MCU reset line, E 2 PROM I 2 C interface and UART interface. This development board supports most of the 40pin 5V PIC microcontrollers which include PIC18F4550, PIC18F452, PIC18F4620, PIC16F877, PIC16F887, etc. Schematic diagram of this development board is available in Circuitbee with Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.
