Chapter 2. Getting Started
Welcome to Eddy! This chapter includes Eddy series overview, main and distinctive features, package contents for
each product, and application fields.
2.1 Overview
There are two categories in Eddy; Eddy-CPU module, Eddy Development Kit (DK).
Eddy-CPU modules include category of socket type Eddy-CPU and Mini PCI type Eddy-S4M.
Eddy-DK includes DK board for Eddy-CPU exclusive, JIG and DK board for Eddy-S4M exclusive.
The Eddy-CPU module includes default applications for serial and LAN communication, and supports plug-and-play
features. By switching to the custom mode, users can program any application and upload it on to the module. This
application then is executed on the module. In order to write and compile programmer’s source code, Software
Development Kit (SDK) LemonIDE
TM
is required.
SDK is included in the DK package. Please refer to Programming Guide and LemonIDE
TM
user’s manual included in
the Development Kit for detailed information on the SDK.
SDK is not necessary for users using Eddy in default presettings.
2.2 Eddy-CPU v2.1 /v2.5
Eddy-CPU is an embedded module based on ARM9 processor with 32MB SDRAM, 4MB or 8MB Flash Memory, 1
Ethernet port with 10/100Mbps, 16 bit address / 8 bit data bus interface supporting external device connection, and
maximum 17 programmable IO pins. Programmers can easily implement any device drivers with referring to library
type example codes and evaluation kit circuit diagrams.
User can design their own customized device using example sources and Evaluation Kit circuit.
Eddy-CPU is implemented on a small form factor (42 * 25mm) with on-board memory and integrated 10/100Mbps
network interface. Developers can minimize time and cost spent on developing application products.
