Powerfulboard now offers a development board
supporting the PSoC 5LP with a number of open projects on Google Code. This board compliments Powerfulboard's existing PSoC 3 development board. Both boards are 40 pin DIP modules that combine the PSoC silicon with an FX2 based in-circuit programmer and debugger. The boards include two mini-USB connectors - one for the debugger and the other for the PSoC itself.
Powerfulboard, an operation of Ansync Inc., developed these low frill, small form factor systems for use in rapid prototyping or as a component in a modular design. The boards are particularly adept at designs intended for USB based sensor or control interfaces. They ship preprogrammed with sample firmware and additional example firmware, Microsoft Windows and Linux code is available at http://code.google.com/p/powerfulboard/
