Bambino 200

Overview

 

The Micromint Bambino 200 is the first multi-core SBC compatible with the .NET Gadgeteer and mbed frameworks. These popular frameworks for embedded software development include extensive class libraries, tools and broad community support, allowing you to deliver embedded applications faster and more reliably. The Micromint Bambino 200 is powered by an NXP LPC4330, the first dual-core ARM Cortex-M microcontroller. Its Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0 cores are both capable of 204 MHz. With 264 KB SRAM onboard and 4 MB of flash, developers can fulfill demanding requirements in monitoring, instrumentation, data acquisition, process control and many other applications. A USB device port serves both as a power source and for data communications or debugging. I/O starts with two buttons and two LEDs and can be extended using 5 Gadgeteer sockets. Hardware and software licensing is open source, giving developers the freedom to adapt the Bambino to their specific requirements.

For applications requiring networking and additional I/O we offer the Micromint Bambino 200E, including the same base features but with enhanced functionality. Flash goes up to 8 MB and 10 Gadgeteer sockets are available for I/O modules. 100 megabit Ethernet is onboard, as well as microSD and Xbee sockets. Besides the built-in ports, a JTAG for low level debugging, a coin cell battery for the RTC and screw terminals for power can be easily implemented in the field by soldering components.

Pricing for the Micromint Bambino 200 and 200E in single quantities is $24.95 and $39.95 respectively. Volume pricing and custom configurations are available by contacting our Sales staff at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Option - JTAG Interface

The JTAG interface option includes a Cortex-M 10-pin (0.05"/1.27mm) JTAG connector for debugging. This option is required to debug applications using a JTAG probe (not included). It is highly recommended for multicore debugging.
