A brand new architecture for real-time embedded control and communications
Quick Facts
-
68000 Software Compatible
-
Built-in Silicon RTOS Kernel
-
Supports over 100 I/O peripheral permutations with a single part number
-
66 MHz operation, but with the real-time performance of a 200 MHz RISC CPU
-
-
3.3V with 5V tolerant I/O
fido has an innovative new architecture that redefines the boundaries between hardware and software, providing deterministic performance with its unique “RTOS Kernel in a Chip”. This, along with the flexibility of programmable I/O peripherals and on-chip debug tools, distinguishes fido from other controllers. fido combines these new features with something familiar - the 68000 instruction set. This is arguably the most widely known and used instruction set in the embedded market today. The development tools are well-proven and robust, providing a very mature and reliable toolchain upon which fido resides.
