FEZ Panda II

The 72Mhz FEZ Panda II runs .NET Micro Framework, allowing users to program and debug FEZ Panda using Microsoft's free Visual C# Express. Applications are loaded over USB cable (or serial) with full featured debugging capabilities, such as stepping in code or inspecting variables.

FEZ Panda II is an enhanced version of FEZ Panda (the original) with On-board microSD socket, Real Time Clock, and an easily accessible 40-pin female header that exposes the extra IOs.

The FEZ Ultimate Kit, which includes FEZ Panda II, is the choice for many users.

Key Features:

• Based on NXP's LPC2387 micro-controller with GHI's commercial USBizi firmware/software package.
• 72MHz. 32-bit ARM7 processor.
• 512 KB Flash (148KB for user application) .
• 96 KB RAM (62KB for user application).
• Compatible with most Arduino shields.
• USB device connection for run-time debugging.
• Specialized libraries to configure USB port to emulate devices like thumb-drive, virtual COM (CDC), mouse, keyboard.
• USB Debugging and Virtual COM (CDC) can work simultaneously.
• USB Host support with modifications.
• Built-in Micro SD card socket (4-bit high speed SDHC support, no 2GB limit) with card detect signal.
• 54x Digital I/O ports.
