Honored ContributorRight, there's no schematic for the board. I downloaded the set of files Embest had as part of their custom hardware library, but they hand you 50,000 files for hardware that aren't pertinent to the board, ranging from 1992 to about 2010, and could not find any files that related to examples showing how to use the features of the board.
They do not have a board-specific library. They just included files that are meant for other hardware like x86, AMD, and for technologies the board doesn't even use like PCMCIA, SATA, IDE. I just assume not to mess with the board, I have to move on to other projects. I spent the past 3 weeks downloading about 20 GB of Altera development environments that don't even run on any of my machines. There's no way to program this board, so I'll just have to give a bad review on it. Honestly, the manufacturer should have thought this one through. They should have made a compiler of their own for their board, and they should have created a board-specific library to support the hardware features of the components of their board. Taking another look, they didn't include a BPS, just a bunch of useless software created in the 90's for hardware that probably doesn't exist anymore. They were even brave enough to include Atmel software for Atmel components that the board doesn't use, like DAC's and DataFlash. Those aren't even on the Lark Board.
