n-PRO concept

Standard series pros

  • The 'standard' nBlocks 33x43mm form factor can support
    • Both simple and complex use cases
    • Microprocessors from Low pin count 32 pins, to higher like 140 QFP or even higher BGA

Standard series cons

  • Supporting professional development need larger pin count than 24 pins
  • The two 12pin 2.54 pitch Connectors can't support modular or Scalable development
  • Any not trivial use case can end-up to a mesh of cables and bad connections
  • The missing link was a good quality dense and low profile connector

n-PRO

  • Same board dimensions and mounting holes as the standard series
  • 240 pins connectivity spread in Four Hirose DF30-series 60-pin low profile connectors
  • Has backwards form factor compatibility
  • Scalable integration in simple way
  • Prototyping is Fast, Modular No cables, looks good
  • Mirror connectors: To connect additional fucntionality like RF, Sensors etc.All the motherboards have these connectors.

Host and Peripheral concept

  • CPU boards are HOST
  • Sensor boards are peripheral
  • DAP programming / mbed-enable boards are peripheral
  • Development boards are Peripheral
  • Application boards are Peripheral
