Page 16: Mcu Card
MCU CARD EasyPIC PRO v8 development system supports a large number of different MCUs. In addition, each of the supported MCUs has some specifics, such as the number of pins and ports, additional peripherals, clock speeds, etc. Therefore, the MCU is supplied in a form of a standardized MCU card. It can support MCUs with various number of pins and specific hardware requirements. - Page 17 This makes each MCU card self-contained unit, allowing the development board to operate on a logic level, not having to facilitate specific requirements of many different MCUs. This also allows the MCU to be freely chosen, not having to worry about the pin compatibility and similar issues. Most importantly, it allows very simple swapping between different MCU types during the development phase, without any hardware interventions.
