Introduction
Overview
Thank you for your purchase of the CRXi core module. The CRXi is a state of the art microcontroller
“engine” used  in small control and data acquisition products. On this small form factor, measuring 3 by 2
inches, are the processor, flash ROM, non-volatile RAM, crystal, reset circuitry and expansion connector.
This frees the design engineer of the many details of address/data bus connections and decoding glue logic
normally associated with layout of these components.
About this manual
This manual will cover the CRXi module in 3 sections. The first section, Introduction, describes briefly the
features of the CRXi, and very important disclaimer information. The user/buyer of this product is urged to

use the internal bootloader, special registers unique to the CRXi, and more on the memory mapping  and
external chip selects.
