Hi Harri,
The main board typically costs around $199US. It is available from Infineon
distributors (Insight, Avnet, and Pioneer in the US), or directly from Phytec
(www.phytec.com - look for their Kitcon167). Phytec also makes smaller
footprint boards using the SABC164CI and SABC167CR microcontrollers. These
would make a more compact design. I used the Kitcon167 because I already had
one.
The small node boards are my own design, and I haven't really figured out how
much it would cost to produce them in quantity.
Regards,
Mark
