Detailed Review:
EK-RX671 development board features a number third party board/device connectivity options. According to me this has been the biggest positive point because this means that the developer does not need jumper wires to connect to other boards and sensors, for example, to connect to Arduino to take ardvantage of low cost open-source hardware. The development board itself is very good quality.
I had great fun learning e2studio to program the board. The user needs to learn e2studio which is built using eclipse so eclipse or similar IDE experienced user would be able to get into prgramming with much ease than a novice.
In this review, I have put together videos in three parts:
Part 1: Unboxing
Part 2: Demo of sample code
Part 3: Modification of sample code
Overall, I found the product of high standard with huge amounts of features to allow the developer flexibility and freedom during their development of embedded application.
