Hawkbox

I ordered a case of extruded aluminum and made a protective box. On top is a Ashling’s Opella-XDS100v2 Entry-level Debug Probe for Texas Instruments Processor and DSP Platforms. With one of these you also get a full license for CCS4. The box was ordered from conrad (Datasheet)and is big enough to hold the board and have some room for developments. It took me about 3 hours to file the notches out and drill some holes for the standoffs.


Hawkbox opened up


Sata disk fits nicely underneath the board. Need to come up with some way of mechanically isolate it from the bottom.


Same from opposite side


60mm of space to house, PSU, USB-Hub and more connectors.


Ample of space above to fit expansion board.
