Are you wanting to run MMbasic on this? I don't think that will work as the I/O layout is most likely completely different. I could be wrong, but I think you would be struggling, and things such as ethernet would not work because there is no IP stack. From what I understand the PIC32 supports the ethernet hardware, but it still needs code to implement the various protocols. There is an IP stack available from the PIC folk, but I have no idea how big it is or whether it is practical to try and implement it, and then write the MMbasic hooks.....? I argue that such complexity is beyond the scope of the Maximite, and that having Ethernet connectivity outboard is the way to go. Thats why I did my board that way.
