Compact embedded PC

The E-CPU-800 module performs all tasks of a mobile and powerful communication processor. Based on the 32bit ARM9 technology arised on an area of only 36,72mm² (72mm x 51mm) an embedded PC with integrated operating system. This compact module is suited for applications in portable devices or as a communication unit for general engineering in industrial or medical technology. Tasks like measurement and control, data logging, ethernet/USB remote maintenance and also protocol conversion are a typical range of application. The simply add-on of existing devices with USB port, ethernet (FTP/HTTP/Telnet Server) and audio (VoIP/WAV/MP3) is also easily possible. All required interfaces will be provided to the user and will be completely supported by the installed operating system. Therefore all desired functions could be fast and easily realised without major programming knowledge.

Available interfaces

To offer the customer a wide field of application, all interfaces supported by the ARM-9 G20 are lead through a 100 pin Hirose connector at the reverse side of the module and may be wired to the respective implementation. Only some of those interfaces requires a driver module.

bootloader U-Boot

The latest version of the Linux boot loader U-Boot is already installed and stored in the NAND Flash. The function of the bootloader is to load the Linux kernel. U-Boot can also start a Linux kernel over ethernet (TFTP), from CF-Card or just by an USB stick.

Operating system Embedded Linux / Windows Embedded CE

The E-CPU-800 module comes by default with the Open-Source-Operating Sytem Linux. On the basis of the open source code, Linux is especially for developers which are less experienced in programming, because many solutions can be found at the internet. Optionaly, the E-CPU-800 Module can also be equiped with Windows Embedded CE.

Energy saving operating

To reduce the power consumption of the E-CPU-800 module, the ARM9-CPU has some power management functions. The control signals of these functions are user-programmable .

Large evaluation board

The evaluation board E-BASE-800 including the E-CPU-800 module is available for fast and easy start of the development, . Every interface supported by the E-CPU-800 module is lead through the E-BASE-800 evaluation board by jacks or headers. The starter kit includes also every accessories for directly beginning your development. Programming is done under Linux in "C".
