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.
