Embedded CPUs gain CE.NET support packages
Ampro Computers is providing immediate support for Windows CE.NET on six Ampro x86 and RISC CPUs, renewing its commitment to the Microsoft Windows CE embedded operating system.
Embedded PC makes most of Low Voltage Pentium
The Little Board 700 single board computer aims to address the needs of demanding and power-sensitive embedded applications.
This announcement means that industrial, medical, military, and transportation OEMs have a single source of high-quality SBCs, CPU modules and analogue, digital and peripheral I/O.
"Today, Ampro has substantially extended its leadership role as an embedded hardware and software solutions provider", said Paul Rosenfeld, Ampro's CTO.
"Our long-lifecycle 486 through Pentium III embedded computers in PC/104, PC/104-Plus, and EBX form factors, coupled with our extensive I/O product line, provide flexible and complete solutions across a very broad range of OEM requirements.
Ampro's dedication to supporting operating systems and device drivers makes us a natural one-stop shop for complete solutions".
Ampro features these analogue-to-digital, digital-to-analogue, field programmable gate array (FPGA), general-purpose I/O (GPIO), and UART serial port modules within its existing line of MiniModule PC/104 products.
These products support I/O requirements up to 150 configurable input/output signals on a single module, which greatly reduces the size of PC/104 stacks for I/O-intensive applications.
MiniModule products supplement the I/O found on EBX-form-factor SBCs such as the Little Board 700 which features low-power Pentium III and Celeron processors, as well as PC/104- and PC/104-Plus-form-factor CPU modules and SBCs such as the 486-based CoreModule 400 and the new CoreModule 410 and 600 products.
MiniModules plug on top of the CPUs and SBCs using the industry-standard PCI and ISA buses in rugged, reliable PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors, yet plug in horizontally (rather than vertically like slot cards) to greatly reduce the height and mounting requirements of end systems.
In addition to the new models, Ampro offers the MiniModule PCC III, MiniModule 1394, and MiniModule USB2 for high-speed I/O such as PC Card (for WiFi 802.11 wireless etc), IEEE1394 FireWire and USB 2.0, respectively.
All MiniModule products are available today, with prices starting below $100 in production volumes.
