"production quality" device drivers, bootloader, board support packages (BSPs), and development tools.
The starter kit makes use of Logic's compact LH7A400-based "Card Engine" (pictured above), a compact single-board computer which includes: Sharp's LH7A400 ARM922T SoC running at 200MHz, Flash memory (up to 32MB), SDRAM memory (up to 64MB), touch screen controller, 10/100 Base T Ethernet controller, Audio Codec, CompactFlash, as well as the other peripherals contained within the LH7A400 SoC. The latter include: LCD controller, USB client, I2C port, PCMCIA/CompactFlash controller, real-time clock, and more. Optional "display kits" provide easy access to all of the Card Engine peripherals for application development, prototyping, and debugging, the companies said.
Earlier this year, Logic released similar SDKs for Sharp's LH79520, a 32-bit SoC based on an ARM7TDMI core, and Sharp's LH75401, a 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S SoC.
Logic's Zoom Starter Development Kit for Sharp's BlueStreak LH7A400 is available for $349 through Sharp's distributors. Further details on the development kit are
