The deRFdevelopmentKit mega128 is a development platform for dresden elektronik’s Radio Modules
deRFmega128-22A00 and deRFmega128-22A02 based on Atmel’s ATmega128RFA1
[datasheet]. The kit enables a fast adaption of the module interfaces as well as a fast start-up and test of simple wireless radio applications.
The Development Kit contains two
Sensor Terminal Boards, three de
deRFtoRCB adapters, three
deRFmega128-22A00 Radio Modules, connecting cables and extensive software and documentation on CD.
The Sensor Terminal Board features universal screw couplers which provide access to all pins of the RF Radio Module. Additional on-board components such as two LEDs, one button, one temperature sensor and an external SRAM can be directly used for simple applications.
The deRFtoRCB adapter allows the easy migration of the Radio Controller Boards (RCBs) to the more compact deRF Radio Modules because of interface compatibility provided by the adapter. Thus already existing Sensor Terminal Boards in connection with a deRF Module and a deRFtoRCB adapter can be used furthermore.
JTAG can be utilized as programming interface. The required JTAGICE mkll is not included in the kit.
The kit can be used for development and field tests due to its versatile power supply possibilities, as USB, external power supply, batteries of the deRFtoRCB adapters.
