Hardware Tools

WDC’s 65xx microprocessor developer boards are reference designs for your Embedded System Development or System-on-Chip (SoC) Development for either the GDSII or Verilog RTL core usage. We provide a FREE, digital form of the boards in our PCB Design Kit. These kits may be downloaded and used to jump start a design that uses features of the Terbium/65xx technology. WDC also has developed Terbi for use with our IP for FPGA/PLD designs and ASIC Emulation. WDC's latest ViaUSB Interface board was developed to provide USB software development/debug features to boards using the a W65C22 VIA device.

FPGA Based ASIC and PLD Development Board - Terbi-ECP2Mulator or "Terbi" (5" x 4")

Terbi was designed as a hardware emulation platform for ASIC design and development with WDC’s 65xx Technology.

65xx Software Development Interface Board - ViaUSB (2" x 1")
WDC's Edu/ProSDK tools now support a USB interface for downloading application code to the target. This interface was developed to work with the W65C22S VIA and our GPIO RTL IP. Terbi comes with a built in USB interface using the FTDI FT245R USB FIFO IC and WDC's GPIO IP Module. For WDC's chip based devloper boards and other boards using a W65C22 VIA chip, WDC has created the ViaUSB Interface board. The ViaUSB has a with a 28-pin connector that mates with WDC's developer boards and APATCO's EB50 Single Board Computer. A cable can be made to go from your system and the ViaUSB. The ViaUSB board provides both a development interface to the Edu/ProSDK software and the ability to power the system board from the USB 5V supply. A reference design document has been created to explain the functionality of the ViaUSB board and how to get up and running with it and the Edu/ProSDK.
