Overview

eaglecoinThe Micromint Eagle 50 is a single board computer designed for cost-sensitive control applications that require real-time performance, networking, and extensive support of popular peripherals. It delivers 32-bit performance and features at a cost equivalent to legacy 8- and 16-bit controllers. Powered by a Texas Instruments LM3S6918 (Eagle 50E) and LM3S1918 (Eagle 50) ARM Cortex-M3 cores capable of over 60 MIPS, the Eagle 50 can fulfill demanding requirements in monitoring, instrumentation, data acquisition, process control, factory automation and many other applications.

Software

Code examples are included with the Eagle 50 to get you started quickly. Applications can run standalone with no operating system or can use a compact real time operating system such as NuttX or FreeRTOS. You can use popular IDEs together with the GNU and IAR compilers. The microSD card capability simplifies program and data storage. Remote access can be implemented via web or command line interfaces, providing off-site monitoring and maintenance capabilities. The JTAG interface speeds up application development and debugging.

Ports of popular Basic (Jumentum BASIC) and Lua (eLua) development tools are available for the Eagle 50 to reduce application development time and simplify integration with code libraries developed for industrial and scientific environments. Using these tools, you can achieve significant functionality in a very short time. These open source tools can be easily extended, allowing a virtually unlimited number of possibilities.
