MatchboxARM fits a powerful 32-bit ARM chip, that runs at 72MHz and has 64Kb flash memory. It comes with pre-burned bootloader so you can start programming right away without needing any other tools. Everything in a tiny format to instantly improve your electronic projects. You develop software for it with open, cross-platform and easy-to-use tools. Everything about MatchboxARM is optimized to help you make things better.
Is a tiny revolution in rapid electronics prototyping. It combines a powerful ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller on a tiny circuit board, allowing hobbyists and professionals alike to turn project ideas into reality faster and better than other microcontroller platforms.
About 2 years ago, the ARM revolution started when ARM micro entered in the world of hobby development boards with faster and faster microcontrollers. In the present we have ArduinoDUE, Maple and few other boards. None so easy to use in our opinion. We thought… Why not build a small, yet powerfull development board based on ARM micro, the Cortex-M3 one, which in our opinion is still easy to understand for a beginner, has lots of peripherals and speed. Here started the research in how to make a board to be simple and easy to use, not use any external hardware except one simple USB adapter cable, be seen by the host computer as a usual usb memory stick, not need any drivers, have an ecosystem of examples to learn from, free compiler and IDE.
And of course to be small enough to enter in a matchbox!
