The device has been designed
to be used whether as a fully functional Embedded PC or as an
Development kit allowing significant decrease of time-to-market for
applications based on the PXA270 platform. Terminals, automatization,
net applications and systems fields where there is a need for operating system are just few of the targeted areas of usage. It
can be supplied in various configurations, what by a single module
exchange represents a possibility of getting powerful system out of
economic one, or even different product with different functions and
applications, and comes with a preinstalled Linux / Windows CE6.0 OS.
Support for Windows CE and other operating systems is available from
the third parties. The developed application can be, together with the
DIMM Module, easily placed into your own, more simple and what is the
most important, more economic base board. While designing own base
board, provided schematics of the Voipac PXA270 DIMM Base Board proved
to be helpful. With such a support, it is possible to design and set up
a new device in a very short time. The
Voipac PXA270 DIMM Base Board has on board 5V switching power supply
with input voltage ranging from 7V to 37V. Maximum output current of
the regulator is 3A thus limiting baseboard, module and all connected
peripherals to 15W maximum power consumption. The PXA270 Development
kit also provides configurable switches, buttons, GPIO pins and LEDs
for simple user interaction, thus simplifying programming of one's own
applications. Among the most significant attributes of the PXA270 platform are low power drain
with excellent MIPS/mW performance enabling usage in a battery-operated
devices, high CPU performance, plenty of available interfaces and
glueless connectivity to various passive and active LCDs with 4-wire
resistive touch screens. The adapter powered PXA270 EMBEDDED PC -
Development kit is supplied in a stylish aluminum case that is able to
accomodate a standard 2.5" IDE HDD and via an analog VGA connector
provides direct conectivity to a generic CRT or TFT screens, supporting
maximum resolution of 1024x768 pixels / 65536 colors in a 16 bit mode.
Outlet of a PCMCIA interface, MMC/SD card or Compact Flash
significantly enlarges the possible usage of the processor. An AC'97
bus, used mainly by the audio chip producers, also proved to be usefull
feature. Besides all the standard PC peripheral interfaces you are used
to, the system provides numerous communication channels as well as
universal expansion slots and connectors. Support for a nonstandard or
customer peripherals can be realized upon request. The development kit is used to get acquainted with the platform and represents possibility of parallel SW and HW development. The
PXA270 embedded system is also designed as a development platform for
the Voipac PXA270 DIMM Module, so-called computer on module (COM),
which includes all technologically and development demanding parts,
thus significantly reducing one's own application development time.
