PiBoard – Ozk RP2040 Development Board (Introduction)



PiBoard is a compact development board developed by Ozk and based on the RP2040 microcontroller architecture. Designed to provide a reliable infrastructure for education, prototyping, and product development processes, PiBoard offers an effective solution for embedded systems projects with its low power consumption, high I/O flexibility, and rapid application development capabilities.






Thanks to the USB connection located on the board, both power supply and programming/communication can be performed over a single line. The modular pin layout allows for quick integration with different peripherals, while supporting a wide range of usage scenarios from prototype production to serial testing setups.


PiBoad RP2040 – Key Features


At the heart of the PiBoard is the RP2040, a microcontroller developed by Raspberry Pi that stands out for its high performance-to-cost ratio:

  • 2.0 mm in pin area
  • Dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor architecture
  • Operating frequency up to 133 MHz
  • 264 KB SRAM internal memory
  • Support for storing and running programs via external QSPI Flash (depending on board design)
  • Rich set of peripherals: SPI, I²C, UART, PWM, ADC


Programmable I/O (PIO) architecture providing hardware-level flexibility, allowing the creation of custom protocols and time-critical interfaces

Infrastructure suitable for rapid development and debugging/communication scenarios via USB




Applications

PiBoard is an ideal platform for sensor applications, motor control prototypes, LED/animation systems, serial communication-based product interfaces, test/automation setups, and educational microcontroller projects.

Ozk aims to provide developers with a fast and stable starting point with PiBoard, and to shorten the path to product development in RP2040-based projects.

Nau88c22-driver: Professional Audio CODEC Solution

Image
Hello! If you're developing audio-based embedded systems, meet a solution that will take your project to the next level: the Nau88c22-driver. This project provides a simple, modular, and reliable C-based driver framework for high-quality audio CODEC integration. 🔧 Project Purpose & Benefits The project includes a driver software that provides direct access to the NAU88C22 audio CODEC. This allows you to easily manage audio streams—stereo, speaker, or headphone output—in microcontroller-based systems. The driver design is kept simple: register-based control over the basic I²C interface; if necessary, it can be extended with higher-level I²S configuration and code additions. This makes it a suitable solution even for embedded and resource-constrained devices. GitHub https://github.com/hmz06967/Nau88c22-driver Shared with an open source approach; It can be freely used as a reference or modified—providing flexibility for both industrial and hobby/research projects. 📦 Who is it S...

XC7Z010, SoC PCB design with FPGA IC

Image
The board features the design of the Xilinx (now AMD) Zynq-7000 series XC7Z010 SoC chip in a FBGA package. The sketch shows a high-density BGA package, DDR3 memory interface, power/ground connections, and signal routing. The Zynq-7000 is an SoC that integrates ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores with FPGA programmable logic. XC7Z010 Features: 28nm technology, 28k logic cell DDR3 support, integrated Ethernet, USB, and GPIOs. Power consumption is low (typical 2-5W, depending on usage). Applications: Optimized for industrial IoT, embedded vision, and motor control. Those familiar with FBGA design and coding will know that it's very challenging, and the application areas are generally industrial solutions. Role in Zynq-7000: The symmetrical BGA distribution between the ARM and FPGA, as seen in the diagram, is critical for signal integrity, as is the difficulty of fan-out routing and impedance calculations. Because the circuit is designed entirely for IP-controlled signal processing, high-fre...

Designed for Flight, Redesigned for Your Wrist: The New Vario Watch Edition

Image
Hello, we hope everything is okay. Today we would like to share with you our project for the next generation vario device, which we have been working on for the last few monthsello, we hope everything is okay. Hello, we hope everything is going well. Today, we'd like to share with you our next-generation Vario device project, which we've been working on for the past few months. We'll cover all the key stages of the project development journey, from the technical challenges we encountered to design decisions, mistakes made, and lessons learned. Let's take a look at the details together. As those interested in paragliding know, Vario devices, which precisely measure ascent and descent rates during flight, are a critical need. The fact that products on the market sell for around €500 and the impact of exchange rates led us to realize an idea we'd been considering for a long time: producing our own Vario device. Today, we've developed the device for well under €100....
