June 25, 2009

Kontron’s microETXexpress-DC Computer-on-Module features a 1.6-GHz N270 Intel Atom processor with the 945GSE and ICH7M chipsets. The 3D graphics accelerator handles dual independent displays with support for SVDO, LVDS, VGA, and TV-out. It runs on 8.5 to 18 V dc and supports the new S5 ECO power state. The module also can handle up to 2 Gbytes of socketed DDR2 533 RAM. The COM Express type 2 board supports Gigabit Ethernet, two SerialATA ports and one parallel ATA port, eight USB 2.0 ports, and three PCI-Express x1 lanes, plus a PCI 2.3, 32-bit/33-MHz connection. It supports high-definition audio and TPM 1.2 security as well.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
