FEZ Cobra II design is done and it is currently in prototyping and testing. This took much longer that we wanted due to our move to the new building http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/topic?id=8688
The new Cobra design is also the reference design for G120 Module. Developers can evaluate G120 using FEZ Cobra II.
We can’t release the schematics yet as we need to run full live testing, which will take one or 2 weeks. If you really need the files and you are willing to take on the risk of an untested design, feel free to contact us with details on your project Contact Us – GHI Electronics We highly recommend to wait one or two weeks.
FEZ Cobra II comes in 2 formats, with WiFi and without. The board hosts 6 Gadgeteer sockets, perfect for connecting display, relays and sensors, but still exposes plenty of IOs, just like the original Cobra. The price is expected to be much lower than the original FEZ Cobra. IF testing went well, expect availability by December.
The GHI timing fits well with our current EMX project, by the time that’s all up and running we can “switch” to the G120 and do some real time comparison in performance and stability.
The Cobra II would fit in that nicely. December, January, yes, fits great!
Cobra II ? I miss few things…
Where is LAN?
Is there only one USB Host connector?
What about USB Client connector?
What about RTC battery or capacitor?
Where is LCD connector(flat cable connector to use Cobra LCD’s)?
I noticed in the reference design PCB picture that there are traces and vias under the G120 module. I few weeks ago I asked if this was acceptable and the answer was basically no. Has this changed?
