Original Press Release:
$99 Devkit Supports All Goal Semiconductor Mixed-Signal and MCU Products Plus Industry-Standard 8051s and Ships with C Compiler
Montreal, Monday, January 31, 2005 - Goal Semiconductor today introduced the UniVersaKit (UVK), a new development kit and evaluation system that supports all Goal VERSA product families as well as most industry-standard 8051 microcontrollers and ships complete with IDE (Integrated Development Environment), C compiler and assembler.
The UniVersaKit (UVK) is a complete and comprehensive evaluation platform for the VERSA mixed-signal and low cost FLASH 8051-based MCU families. The UVK integrates the required support circuitry to minimize startup time, accelerate system prototyping and shorten time to market: The board includes voltage regulators (3.3V and 5V), an RS-232 transceiver, DB9 connectors, tact switches for manual reset and interrupt triggering, 8 user LEDs, an I²C-based EEPROM, Piezo buzzer and driver circuitry, chip peripherals and I/O pins that are easily accessible through probe vias and onboard header footprints, character LCD display expansion capabilities and ample prototyping space.
The UVK includes a VERSA ICP (In-Circuit Programmer) for programming and in-circuit debugging of the mixed-signal VERSA devices (VMX1020/VMX1016). The VERSA ICP can also be used for in-system programming in end product production.
Goal's VRS1000/VRS1100 8051 FLASH MCUs can be programmed using the GoalTender Programming Software via a PC connected through a standard serial port.
The UniVersaKit (UVK) development kit ships complete with:
· Development board that supports all VERSA product families
· VERSA ICP with debugging support for VMX1020/VMX1016 devices
· CD-ROM with relevant user guides and software including GoalTender Programming Software and IDE/Compiler/Assembler
· VMX1020 device soldered onto the development board (VMX1016 is available upon request)
· Sample of the VRS1000-PAI40-ISPV2
· Serial cable and power supply
Goal Semiconductor programming and debugging software is provided free with the UniVersaKit (UVK) and updates are frequently posted at goalsemi.com/software.html
The UniVersaKit (UVK) is available for US $99.
