Revelation

a dedicated chess computer system by Phoenix Chess Systems, developed by its founder and CEO Ruud Martin. While a prototype was introduced in 2006, the Revelation was first shipped in June 2008 and superseded by its successor Revelation II in 2013. The system features a sensory board, an XScale [|PXA255] 32-bit processor at 500 MHz with 32 MiB of RAM, and [|firmware] and chess engines in non-volatile flash memory. A six button and [|OLED] panel realize a [|menu-driven] graphical user interface to configure and choose engines, and to control and indicate system modes and states. A wireless [|Bluetooth] connection allows native engine or firmware updates, and due to the UCI server, also allows using the Revelation as dedicated user interface for UCI engines running on a PC. In 2009, the Revelation also appeared as module set for Mephisto boards. || toc =Display= =Chess Engines=
