ARM micro-controller based Single Board Computer
(SBC9302)
This is really
complete computer with a powerful processor, lot of memory and several
interfaces like USB host and device, Ethernet LAN interface, SD-Card, PC/104
and so on.
It is an economical
and indigenous replacement for expensive “embedded computer boards”. Thanks to
the PC/104
interface, you can directly connect almost any kind of PC/104 compatible I/O
card. This combination gives you lot of processing power + I/O – hence it is
perfect solution for Industrial
Automation.
The board also
provides lot of non-volatile storage options: you may connect a pen-drive to
USB host interface. USB
pen-drives are readily and cheaply available with ever growing
capacities. Alternatively, you may connect very cheap SD memory card
directly to the on-board SD-card interface.
The USB host
interface can be also used for connecting keyboard and mouse. LCD can be as well connected with a small
add-on module. With this, GUI based applications can be easily developed. Since
the board supports Linux, you may use a development tool like QT
to write GUI applications. Thus the board is suitable for GUI applications –
for example Medical
Instrumentation, Human Machine Interfaces and so on.
We
also offer training course on Embedded
Linux on ARM. This board is used for illustrations during this training
course. The course will enable you to write Linux based applications that run
on this board or other similar hardware.
If
you are looking for a Single Board Industrial Computer,
complete with optically isolated I/O, then SBC1926
is the right solution for you. SBC9302 and SBC1926 boards have been designed to
meet 2 different requirements:
·
SBC9302
(i.e. this board): provides more versatile interfaces, but only a few I/O pins,
that too TTL (3.3V level) without optical isolation. But, thanks to PC/104
interface, provides more flexibility to expand. It is very easy and convenient
to add PC/104 modules for I/O, for display interface (LCD or VGA monitor) and
so on.
·
SBC1926: provides optically isolated I/O and 400K gates
FPGA on board, but does not have PC/104 interface. Thus expansion possibilities
are limited.
We
also make general purpose Evaluation Boards based on
ARM micro-controllers.
Here are the
specifications of SBC9302 board: (Click here to
