Calliope mini

2017

The Calliope mini (Calliope, 2017) is a German educational board and a close cousin of the BBC micro:bit v1, built on the Nordic nRF51822: a 16MHz ARM Cortex-M0 with a 5x5 red LED matrix, A and B buttons, an on-board WS2812 RGB LED, a BMX055 accelerometer and, its headline feature, an on-board loudspeaker. Here it boots real bare-metal programs on this site's own ARM core, driving the real on-chip peripherals. Open the debugger to single-step real Thumb instructions. It makes real sound: click the Sound button to unmute.
