We provide two development kits for the GR716 microcontroller. The GR716 Evaluation Board that is intended for rapid evaluation of the microcontroller architecture and the GR716 Development Board that provides access to all interfaces and additional extension options. The development boards are complemented by the TSIM3 simulator, the BCC2 toolchain and the GRMON3 debugger.
