Development Board
makerA development board is a printed circuit board designed to facilitate the development and testing of embedded systems.
expanded
Development boards are used to prototype electronics and embedded systems. They typically include microcontrollers, microprocessors, or FPGAs, along with the necessary inputs and outputs to connect various peripheral devices for project development and testing. These boards serve as a cost-effective platform for hardware and software engineers in the design, testing, and validation of applications before moving to the production phase.
examples
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
Commonly used in educational environments and hobbyist projects for introducing beginners to programming and electronics.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B features a 1.5 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor.
Used in a range of projects from home automation to data servers due to its computer-like performance and GPIO for interfacing with external electronics.
