Stackable Options

May 7, 2009

The 2009 Embedded Systems Conference was the host for a range of stackable options using new standards such as SUMIT and StackableUSB. The 420-by-372 USB3201 LCD from Micro/Sys is designed to work with StackableUSB boards. It has 4 Mbits of serial flash on board plus an optional touch screen. Versalogic’s Ocelot single-board computer with a 1.6-GHz Atom processor sports SUMIT-104 connectors. The PC/104 ISA connector provides legacy support while the SUMIT connectors provide access to PCI Express in addition to LPC, USB, SPI, and I²C. The SPX connector provides cable access to SPI devices. Peripherals include integrated video, 1-Gbit Ethernet, HD audio, and four serial ports plus 2 Gbytes of DDR2 memory.

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.
