Some resources for working with the Freescale/Element14 Freedom Board

What is a clock? What is a calendar? How can one do the job of the other? In this series of articles, Smiffy describes a project in which an everyday quartz clock is converted into a solar calendar - the Solstice Clock. Part 3 presents the circuit schematic and board layout of the prototype Solstice Clock.
What is a clock? What is a calendar? How can one do the job of the other? In this series of articles, Smiffy describes a project in which an everyday quartz clock is converted into a solar calendar - the Solstice Clock. Part 2 tells of a simplification of the original concept, more things that the clock can do, and choosing a microcontroller and clock crystal to drive it.
