Good afternoon,

I would like to know if there is any company that produces single board microcontrollers that are supposed to be programmed and then sold to customers.
As I've written in the title, I am looking for an Arduino-like board. I need a real-time microcontroller with at least 100 GPIO.
I've started my project using a microcontroller from Texas Instruments (C2000 series) and using the Launchpad. The microcontroller was perfect for my project but to develop a product that can be sold to customers I need to design and produce a board. Since in the application I only use GPIOS, ADC and a Serial port, I though that maybe there are some alternatives that could help me avoid the board design.
Of course I've looked on the web for SBCs but I couldn't find one that would fit my needs, thus I thought that a person with more experience could address me better.
I hope I was clear enough. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

There are many microntroller board modules are available if you are doing your project in this module it was easy but for technicians your products secrets will open.if you are using your own designed PCB board it is quite a brilliant for consumer electronics

 

Yes, possible be I need more info like:
ADC speed
memory ram/rom
I/O
RTC y/n
power
logic levels input
Galvanic separation needed indicate ports when needed.
100 GPIO no problem. ( expansion card)
Serial communication protocol used.
I might be able to help you but need answers. ( I did build one for production based on PIC 18f8722 or 18f87k22).

You have done the system prototype and you are 100% satisfied. Your next step is to design and produce your own board. It is not difficult to do. Then you will have total control on source, supply, cost, design changes, and IP.

Go for it.

 

Sounds like a re-creation of a standard Industrial PLC?

As a reference I'm using the TMS320F28379D dual-core microcontroller from TI. I don't expect to find a board with the exact same microcontroller, but I would like something similar. Do you know some companies that offer boards which feature something similar?

I think the difficulty depends highly on the experience. I have no experience in designing and producing boards, so I should have someone else do it and in that case I would lose many benefits of a custom board.

 

Everybody has to start somewhere. Here you have some points going for you.

1) You have a working design.
2) An actual goal is better than a make-work project.
3) It doesn't sound like a complex design.

When you're finished you can add PCB design and fabrication to your list of abilities.

We have provided hands-on guidance on PCB layout right here on AAC.
