Introduction 86Duino EduCake (EduCake) is an open-source microcomputer learning platform built on Vortex86EX, a System-On-Chip (SoC) built with 32-bit x86 processor. The EduCake is designed to be electronically compatible to the Arduino platform. In addition, the EduCake includes Arduino emulation software which enables application codes written for Arduino (sketch) to be compiled and run on […]

Digital Pins The digital pins on the 86Duino (which are mapped to the GPIO pins of the Vortex86EX SoC) can be configured as either inputs or outputs by the user at run time. We shall explains the functioning of the pins in those modes. Properties of Pins Configured as INPUT Digital pins of 86Duino default […]
