APF27 PPS

Description

The APF27_PPS electronic board is an ideal development platform for experimenting and realizing network applications, such as routers, gateways, secured transfer of data (SSH, IPSec, ...). A WiFi interface is also available.

The following peripherals are accessible through two extension connectors enabling easy addition of functionalities to the APF27_PPS: 1 UART, SSI bus, I2C bus, SPI bus, GPIOs (processor/FPGA)

All the drivers for the board peripherals are available in the armadeus BSP.
