What is AgonLight2?
AgonLight2 is a re-design of the original AgonLight eZ80F92 retro computer, designed as a hobby project by
Bernardo Kastrup;
AgonLight2 is a complete Single Board Computer (SBC) with VGA display output, PS2 keyboard, and SD
card (acting as an external disk). This means that to write and run programs you do not need an external
computer like Arduino boards do;
AgonLight2 is BASIC-programmable microcomputer;
AgonLigh t2 has a GPIO connector with GPIO ports, I2C, SPI, and more signals, which are accessible and
can be used to interact with additional hardware (sensors, expansions, etc);
AgonLight and AgonLight2 are Open Source Hardware and officially OSHWA certified ;
All CAD source files are available at AgonLight and AgonLight2 GitHub repositories. They are released
under CERN Open Hardware License Version 2 – Strongly Reciprocal and allow users to learn, study, edit,
modify, produce, and sell same or derivative products based on these designs. The only requirements is to
open source their work under the same licensee.
The firmware of AgonLight is written by Dean Belfield and reproduces BBC Basic for Z80. The firmware is
also Open Source Software and available on
GitHub . The same firmware works on AgonLight2 without any
modifications.
AgonLight2 is RoHS, REACH, CE and UKCA compliant.
