Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

On their web page they claim it is a compiler basic.
The add says pre-loaded with Basic.

Not sure what to think.

Anyway, I generally have not enough IO pins on a 28pin MX170, so there may be not enough IO on this one also.

Cannot pre-load compiler basic ?

edit:
Maybe the ' compiler ' is on the chip ?

Per Coridium / :
"
The uChip has the BASIC firmware installed.  Firmware includes library routines, like floating point operations, string operations, integer divide, printf and others.  The freely downloaded compiler resides on a PC and outputs hex files that are ARM instructions or calls to those library routines.

From time to time we have offered ports of the compiler to Linux systems, but most people use VM.

Recently we ported the TclTerm utility to the Raspberry Pi which allows communication to a BASIC program on the uChip (our blog entry)

https://www.coridium.us/coridium/blog/raspberrypi-interface

While it would be possible to port all the tools to the RasPi, in our opinion it is a bit slow and has primitive text editors, and we would recommend using a PC to develop your BASIC program.
