I’m pleased to announce the IsoSwitch.201802 release of the CrowdSwitch SW and HW source code.

This release substantially validates the overall HW design. The code runs at full speed on real hardware (though it still has plenty of bugs and missing features).

The proof-of-concept hardware is an off-the-shelf $300 XCORE-200 SliceKIT development board with 3x Ethernet | XA-SK-E100 SliceCARDs.

For the next phase of HW validation, I have contracted to have 5 initial prototype boards assembled using our first CrowdSwitch HW design. These should arrive in about 3 weeks. It’s my first ever design, so I’m expecting them to fail 🙂

In the meantime, I’ll be working on building an Energy Ledger in C# to run on the SoC. This will also allow me to beef up the unit test.

HW Design Release Notes:

Accommodate final 1×4 RJ45 part

Switch out unavailable parts

Add some debugging pads and pins
