32-bit Firebird32-Mini

The Firebird32-Mini is a 28-pin DIP version of the Firebird32 board.

For beginners, its pre-loaded "StickOS" created by Rich Testardi is even easier to use than any hobby IDE. You do not need to install any IDE on your host computer, but only a standard terminal emulation program, such as TeraTerm in Windows, the "screen" terminal command in Mac OS X, etc.

For advanced users, the Firebird32-Mini using USBDM works with Freescale's CodeWarrior IDE and a step-by-step debugger. The CodeWarrior special edition is free and has been used by universities all over the world..

All male headers are not included except the 6-pin BDM header, and they can be installed by users.

 

How to connect to a UTB?

The easiest way is to make a 7x2 ribbon cable, but only utilize it as a 6x1 ribbon cable to connect to a UTB module. If the connections are correct, the green LED on the Mini should be on.

The USB port from the host PC is connected to the MCU via SCI port and it does not use the native USB on the MCU. In order to use the StickOS a UTB or similar USB to TTL adapter is needed for the Firebird32-Mini.

 
 

Combined with a USBDM as a prototyping system for advanced users and professionals.
 

 

 

Note:

The left most 24 pins of the Firebird32-Mini are pin compatible with the Arduino-Mini 04 and Parallax Basic Stamp.
