Core4 - Platform

QUICK START

If you are new to the V4 architecture, see the getting started manual.

INTRODUCTION

Core4 runs on the Teratronik V4 series controllers V4 and V4½. Both boards are based on an ARM9 core running at 200MHz.

Common features	Software Support
ARM9 based microcontroller, 200MHz MMC/SDCard socket TFT Display interface up to 640x480 pixels at 24bit color depth, up to 800x600 pixels at 16bit color depth Resistive 4-wire touch screen interface 10/100MBit Ethernet Two USB host ports One USB device port AC97 Audio codec Battery and goldcap backed realtime clock	Uses a *nix like filesystem structure. Easily scriptable using the Lua Language. The Core4Manager software for Windows and Linux allows creating your own Lua based applications.
Additional features of V4	Additional features of V4½ with power board V4½-pwr1
