Expansion Module (EXM)

A development board for prototyping, test and debug of hardware features and applications, the Expansion Module accommodates the Green Calliope Engine (GCE) or its modules with or without the rugged OEM enclosure. It provides real estate for custom logic and daughter card docking, and completes the Calliope Platform connectivity suite with Ethernet, JTAG and serial I/O ports. An optional professional enclosure allows developers to package the entire Calliope Platform for clean demonstration and prototype delivery.
