Copyright 2008 Matrix Multimedia Limited Page 2 Introduction What does it do ECIO devices are powerful USB programmable microcontrollers with 28 and 40 pin DIL (0.6) footprints. Benefits Allows you to add USB programmability to your projects Low cost microcontroller programming, platform for development and learning ECIO-40P Features Programmable from USB Includes bootloader software Can draw power from USB Usable with LabView and VB, C++ etc Description The ECIO family of USB programmable microcontrollers provides an incredibly simple way of adopting microcontroller technology into your projects. The device behaves just like a normal microcontroller - but when you plug the USB lead in and press the reset switch you can send a new program to the device. This makes the ECIO one of the lowest cost USB programmers in the World. Currently there are three products in the range: ECIO28P Download software and ECIO40P, and the ECRM40. ECIO-28P and ECIO- 40P devices are based on PICmicro 18 series devices - the 18F2455 and the 18F4455 respectively. The ECRM40 is based on an Atmel AT91 ARM 7 processor. ECIO microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a bootloader program which allows you to send a new program to the microcontroller via USB. ECIO is compatible with hex code from any appropriate compiler. ECIOs are directly compatible with Flowcode - a graphical programming language which greatly simplifies the code generation process - but can also be used with any C compiler. ECIO is suitable for use where direct programming from USB is required: for projects, or where systems need reprogramming in the field. ECIO is well supported with a wide range of learning and development tools including Flowcode and E-blocks. ECXX-60-2 PICmicro and PIC are trademarks of Microchip Technology Inc.
