EdgePro 1 is a compact open-source development platform featuring cutting-edge firmware based on a POSIX-compliant Real-Time Operating System. Its main advantage is the ability to leverage the LuaJIT interpreter, allowing for the development and execution of programs written in the Lua scripting language. The LuaJIT interpreter optimizes performance, achieving near-native C execution speeds through Just-in-Time (JiT) compilation technology.
The EdgePro1, equipped with the U-Blox NINA-W102 communication module, supports both Wi-Fi and BLE connectivity. It also features powerful open CPU support for custom applications and includes built-in antennas. An optional security chip, the ATECC608A, is also available for enhanced security.

Enhance Your EdgePro1 with the EdgeProMX DIY Computer Board
If you enjoy soldering your own projects, the author also offers the EdgeProMX DIY Computer Board. This 231 x 132 mm PCB features through-hole technology and includes all the necessary footprints to create a complete DIY computer based on the EdgePro1.
The EdgeProMX footprint provides easy-to-assemble sections for soldering your own 48-key mechanical ortholinear keyboard, a low-power, sunlight-readable 400 x 240 monochrome LCD, a rotary switch, a toggle switch, swappable batteries, and a development area for prototyping. Additionally, a standard JTAG/SWD connector can be added for debugging purposes.
This project will be crowdfunded on CrowdSupply. For more information and to support it, please visit here. We appreciate your interest and support! 🙂
