The MIDIbox Hardware Platform (MBHP)
The platform focuses on well defined and documented modules based on small, uncomplicated circuits to allow for amateur assembly. These modules are then assembled into a complete project. All boards can be made as single-layer PCBs, and prototype boards designed with a freeware CAD program. Almost all components are through-hole for easier assembly.
The MIDIbox hardware platform runs its own open-source operating system—MIOS (MIDIbox Operating System)—written in PIC assembly language for speed and accuracy. A C wrapper layer provides simplified coding. MIOS is designed and documented to allow simple reconfiguration, adaptation, and extension by hobbyists and enthusiasts.

Famous quotes containing the words hardware and/or platform:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
