The MEGA microcontroller card has a Microchip MEGA88PB AVR microprocessor with eighteen available IO pins. The AVR's SPI port is reserved for communication with the FPGA card and for programming the AVR.
Features: - Eighteen available IO pins - Crystal controlled oscillator - 3.3 volt IO - Jumper to enable writing program flash - API to read and write the AVR program flash - API to read and write EEPROM - API to read and write AVR hardware registers - API to read and write predefined RAM locations |
The MEGA card is always paired with the avr peripheral.
