PUCK Reference Design Kit for PUCK Protocol v 1.3

The MBARI PUCK Reference Design Kit (PRDK) offers software and documentation to assist PUCK users and developers in creating software applications that use PUCK-enabled devices or in implementing PUCK protocol in an instrument. The PRDK is a superset of the PUCK Developer's Kit offered previously (and still available).

The PRDK contains source code and binaries for PUCK protocol v 1.3 implementations and utilities for writing, reading and testing PUCK enabled devices. It also includes complete documentation needed to assemble a reference implementation of an external PUCK device that implements the PUCK v 1.3 protocol, including test cables and firmware.

The PUCK developers toolkit is designed to work on Windows+Cygwin and Linux PCs.

Contents include:

  • PUCK Protocol v1.3 Verification tool
    • Verify device compliance with PUCK protocol
  • Utilities for reading and writing PUCK content
  • PUCK Protocol v 1.3 Firmware Implementations
    • Console PUCK simulator
    • MSP430 firmware (for use with reference design hardware)
  • External PUCK Hardware Reference Design
    • Schematics, BOM and Layout Documentation
  • Source code for firmware and utilities
  • Links to open-source development tools
