Aventen Formosa Sync
The board that started it all.
Introduction
The Aventen Formosa Sync was Aventen's first development board — a high-performance board equipped with a 600MHz RT1060 MCU (overclockable to 1GHz under the right conditions), built-in WiFi 5 + Bluetooth with audio, USB OTG, RGB LEDs, USB-C connectivity, and comprehensive battery management.
Designed for IoT makers, professionals, and industrial solutions — it offered a compact, breadboardable form factor with serious performance.

Status
Formosa Sync reached prototype stage and confirmed first prototype. It was covered by Hackster.io and launched a Crowd Supply campaign. Development was paused in favour of the next-generation Kypros board.
What Came Next
We built Formosa Sync. Then we asked: what if we threw out every compromise and started over with the RT1176 — before anyone else did?
That's Kypros.
