Microprocessor Development Systems

A Microprocessor Development Board is a printed circuit board containing a microprocessor and the minimal support logic needed for an engineer to become acquainted with the microprocessor on the board and to learn to do some elementary assembler programming on it. It also served for the producer of the microprocessor as a platform for testing their new chip.

It differs from a home computer by not having any logic above what is absolutely necessary to create a working system with an ability to enter and execute a machine language program, and evaluate the result. So normally all the things you would expect to have in a computer system designed for entertainment, such as a Video Display Controller, a sound-chip, and a keyboard usable for Basic, would not be available as a standard feature.

Dynalog India Ltd a big effort in microprocessor product manufacturing and services with equipment, clear and exhaustive manuals, to support experiments which can be performed. Micro-friend was first of a highly successful series and one of the most widely used training kits in India.
