#173499 - did you play with it?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I did!

I managed to get a "blinky" working.

My aim, as you might have guessed from this thread was to get a USB host working.
I wrote a test app, but found that the board needed a firmware update for it. That meant soldering some headers onto the board & making up a cable - but then I ran out of time!
To be continued...

Any impressions?

It does pretty much what it says on the tin.

If all you want to do is flash a LED, I see no advantage over a "traditional" devkit, compiler, etc.

The advantage, I think, would come with doing more "complicated" stuff like the USB Host, file systems, networking, etc...

An unexpected benefit was that the start that it gave me in C# helped me recently write a demo HTTP server (on a PC) for a paying job...

:-)

Edit:

Note that the "Fez" board that you mentioned is the more recent successor to the USBizi that I actually have.
