VERSION: Coding 210

This is the IDE of the open-source 86Duino electronic platforms, which is compatible to Arduino 1.5.8. The binaries of this IDE for Windows, Linux, and Mac can be downloaded from: http://www.86duino.com/?page_id=8918

If you find any software/hardware bug, or want to provide software patches or to request enhancements about 86Duino, please report to the 86Duino forum: http://www.86duino.com/?page_id=85, or alternatively to the GitHub issue page: https://github.com/roboard/86Duino/issues

Please refer to the 86Duino Getting-Started page for installation instructions on Windows XP/7/8, Mac OS X, and Linux: http://www.86duino.com/?page_id=2844

Alternatively, since the 86Duino IDE is compatible to Arduino 1.5.8, you can also refer to Arduino's installation guides: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage

86Duino is an open source project based on Arduino, RoBoard, FreeDOS, DJGPP, coreboot and SeaBIOS. Everyone contributing to those projects is gratefully acknowledged.

The 86Duino boards are designed by Hao Wei Chiu. And the software and firmware are developed by Android Lin and Oswald Kuo. All of them are members of the RoBoard team in DMP Electronic Inc.

There are also people and organizations in Taiwan that motivate, assist, and/or contribut the development of 86Duino. Detailed list can be seen in credits.txt.

The 86Duino boards are open-source embedded platforms employing the Vortex86EX SoC, which integrates PCIE bus, DDR3, ROM controller, xISA, I2C, SPI, Motor/Motion Controller, IPC (Internal Peripheral Controllers with DMA and interrupt timer/counter included), Fast Ethernet, FIFO UART, USB2.0 and SD/SATA controller within a single package.

86Duino is compatible to Arduino, and can also support DOS, Windows OS, Linux and most popular 32-bit x86 RTOS.

Established in Taiwan since 1989, DMP Electronics Inc. has focused on kernel technology of x86 embedded in hardware development and manufacture. Except the standard x86 embedded Single-Board-Computer products, DMP expands services covering the design and manufacture of OEM/ODM for many years, such as Power Application, ATM, Medical, Equipment, Home Entertainment, Automation, Metering Control Module, Gate System, etc. DMP also provides clients with the complete technical support relating Linux and Windows Embedded OS. In response to client's multiple demands, DMP has released serial application products, such as Touch Panel PC, Netbook (Edubook), Keyboard PC and Auto Vehicle Locator (AVL). All of them are based on x86 SoC embedded technologies.

Believing that Robotics is an important topic in the future industry, DMP is being involved in the development of advanced robot technology. Especially, several open-source projects related to Robotics are developed or working in progress, including humanoid and hexapod robots, integrated controllers for LinuxCNC, the RoBoard robot controller, and the 86Duino open-hardware platform.
