starter kit Vs Evaluation Board

[sayin]

hi,
in which way starter kit and evaluation board gets differ?

 

[ckshivaram]

Startkits are usually low cast kits suitable for basics learning.
Development kits are meant to be used for commercial quality product development/testing/prototyping.

Starterkits are low cost as compared to development kits.

Starterksits are limited on features (HW/SW) while development kits aren't.

It is also possible that Development kits that are suitable to special business needs are avaialble. e.g. there can be an PCI development kit which won't required you to do write PCI handling logic and will perform PCI logic connections to the board connectors automatically.

Most offen the Development kits have a full versions of the necessary IDEs while the Starter kits usually have but a Trial license

CAPTURE is a mode in the timer2 of the microcontroller by which you can copy the content of TH2 and TL2 into the SFR regestor.

capture mode is a option given in controllers to capture the occurance of event... when you run a timer or any part of program,, if you configure the cature mode register, then it will capture the timer value when the interrupt occured. these are used to analyse the frequency and occurance of interrupts. Usually you can store up to 2 values of interrupt occurance in the value.....
