New Board Simplifies Soldering Of Propeller Chip
Schmartboard has released a development board for the Parallax Propeller chip. The Propeller chip makes it easy to rapidly develop embedded applications. Its eight processors (cogs) can operate simultaneously, either independently or co-operatively, sharing common resources through a central hub.
The developer has full control over how and when each cog is employed. There is no compiler-driven or operating-system driven splitting of tasks among multiple cogs.
A shared system-clock keeps each cog on the same time reference, allowing for true deterministic timing and synchronisation. The new Propeller board will give the user the ability to hand-solder the components onto the board. Schmartboard's 'EZ' technology simplifies the soldering of the Propeller, allowing anyone to do it.
