Ardumower future PCB

Abstract

Ideas for a future HW/SW architecture...

Circuits

The PCB circuits (for battery, charging, etc.) should be based on the Mega/Due PCB:

CPU

• STM32F4 (Cortex M4, DSP, 100 I/O pins, 256K RAM) http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/PF252419

PCB

• One board or
• 2 boards (one cpu/imu + one IO board for example)

Software

• For the software part, ChibiOS could be a very nice start . It's a good RTOS with high integration of STM32 drivers , FATFS integration, LWIP etc... http://www.chibios.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=chibios:matrix

And: There's chibistudio (modified Eclipse) for chibi...
