FiO EVBs have been primarily designed as affordable embedded system training boards for used by instructors and students to supplement such courses and curriculums as design and analysis of automatic or embedded control systems and digital signal processing (DSP) systems. It is hoped that the introduction of FiO and RapidSTM32 Blockset will help lower the barrier and open up opportunities for more users to play around with Rapid Prototyping technology.

RapidSTM32 is a Simulink device driver blockset and tool suite for STM32 microcontroller family. Ultimately, the blockset is expected to enable users to transfer their designs from Simulink, with just one click, to a working embedded system (based on STM32 microcontrollers) without the need to write a single line of C or Assembly code.

FiO family of evaluation boards have been specifically designed to be applicable both as LAB kits for uses in laboratories as well as a stand-alone system for used in-the-field in any student’s science and engineering projects.
