Mini System-On-Module Integrates Entire ARM Core

Complete with an Ethernet PHY and six serial ports with auto RS-485 provision, EMAC’s fanless SoM-9X25 system-on-module (SoM) supports a wide temperature range. The ARM9 400-MHz SoM uses up to 4 Gbytes of embedded multimedia card (eMMC) memory, 16 Mbytes of serial data flash, and up to 128 Mbytes of DDR2 RAM. It’s designed to plug into a carrier board that contains all connectors and any custom I/O required for the application, facilitating board customization. It also can be obtained off-the-shelf from the company (SoM-150ES is recommended), allowing users to immediately start coding applications using Linux or WinCE. All of the ARM processor core is contained—flash, memory, serial ports, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, I²S, audio, CAN 2.0B, SDIO, PWMs, timer/counters, ADCs, etc.—within a 2.66- by 1.5-in., 144-pin SODIMM. EMAC furnishes a free Eclipse IDE for Linux development, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 can be used to develop Windows CE 6.0 applications.EMAC INC.
