MikroElektronika (MIKROE), today’s embedded solutions company, unveiled CLICKER 4, the first in the series of MIKROE starter boards with the advanced CODEGRIP programmer/debugger on board. Clicker boards support development using MIKROE’s Click™ board add-on development boards.
Clicker 4 is a solution to accelerate prototyping, but it can also be implemented directly into a fully functional, custom design. Key features include a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 STM32F4 MCU operating at up to 168 MHz; 1MB Flash memory; Floating point unit (FPU); a complete set of DSP instructions; and a memory protection unit (MPU).
Explains Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “To make the prototyping experience as convenient as possible, Clicker 4 is equipped with an on-board debug unit, MIKROE’s advanced CODEGRIP programmed/debugger, which is compliant with the on-board emulator standard, CMSIS-DAP. This allows designers to fully use, test, and debug the target device right out of the box.”
A JTAG/SWD header for interfacing with external electronics, USB Type-C connectors, six LEDs, six push buttons, and a reset button are also included.
Click boards follow mikroBUS™, a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, enabling design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time.
Any Click board can be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor on a central board. Many leading microcontroller companies, including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba, now include the mikroBUS socket on their development boards.
