Yoder - Firmware
There are two variations of Yoder / FireBoard controller. The first variant combines two devices, the YFB which provides interaction with the hardware, and the YFBX which acts as host. The second variant is the YFBXC, which is a standalone device that performs all control logic, hardware interaction, and connectivity.
