Little Board Development Platform And Quick Start Kit
Whatever your Little Board application, there will always be a need for an engineering development cycle. To help developers quickly assemble an embedded system, Ampro offers the Little Board Development Platform. It includes a power supply, 3.5 inch 1.44M floppy disk drive, IDE hard drive, speaker, I/O connectors, a backplane for ISA and PCI expansion cards, an I/O development board (described below), and mounting studs for the Little Board.
The Development Platform provides a “known good” environment for your development work. You can install the Little Board/P5x, MiniModules, or conventional expansion boards, keyboard, monitor, and I/O devices to quickly create a platform for your hardware and software engineering needs. Often, Development Platforms are used in repair and support facilities as well, and on the production floor for system test. Contact your Ampro sales representative for more information.
The Quick Start Kit includes cables, documentation, and software needed to develop an application with the Little Board. Unlike the Development Platform, you must supply the disk drives and power supply. Technical drawings for the cables provided in the Quick Start Kit are included in Appendix B.
There are other kits available from Ampro to aid in the development of your application. A Cable Kit that includes only the Little Board/P5x cable set is available. The latching clips that fit on the shrouded connectors on the Little Board to secure the cable connectors are available in another kit. The Literature Set that includes the Technical Manuals and Software is also available seperately.
