Re: [Fx2lib-devel] Allmybrain.com Question/Comment: interested in fx2 cystream

[Dennis M. <de...@ub...>]

Hi Nu,

The only additional hardware you'll need is whatever peripheral device 
you might wish to connect.  The Cypress dev kit has all the IO pins 
exposed and comes with a bread-board adapter for plugging in your own 
stuff (albeit most modern parts are too complex to use with their 
bread-board).  Are you planning on doing your experiments with only the FX2?

The Cypress kit comes with a Keil compiler sample and only works on 
Windows.  That works for a bit, but you'll quickly run into their 4k 
firmware size limit as you start putting logic into your firmware.  You 
can use the fx2lib library and SDCC for the compiler if you would rather 
stick to Open/Free software.  Fx2lib supports a good portion (if not 
all) of the library features that Cypress provides for Keil.  You can 
join the fx2lib mailing list here if you like:

As a side note, there are other development boards on the market that 
are cheaper than the Cypress dev kit.
