Development kit puts VxWorks on SBC
Following its membership of Wind River's WindLink Partner Programme, Arcom has launched a VxWorks BSP development kit for the popular 300MHz SBC-GX1 embedded PC.
Development kit embeds Java with Linux
Arcom's embedded Linux with Java technology development kit includes the SBC-GX1 300MHz embedded PC preloaded with a compact implementation of GNU/Linux combined with IBM's J9 Virtual Machine.
The board offers graphics accelerated CRT and TFT flat panel support, 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet, four serial ports (RS232/RS422/RS485), digital I/O and expansion via a PCI slot, CompactFlash socket and the industry standard PC/104 bus.
The SBC-GX1 was introduced in 2001 and is now fully supported by Arcom for all the leading embedded operating systems, including Windows CE.NET, XP Embedded, embedded Linux, QNX Neutrino, VxWorks 5.4 and 5.5, as well as Datalight's ROM-DOS.
In September 2003, the entire Geode GX1 product range was transferred from National Semiconductor to AMD.
Based on the commitments made by AMD and market demand, Arcom expects to maintain production of the SBC-GX1 until at least 2010.
Given the rapid progress of most embedded PC solutions (driven largely by the markets for desktop computers and set-top-box infotainment devices), the long-term availability of the SBC-GX1 offers a real benefit to the industrial OEM market.
Arcom supports the SBC-GX1 with a CE/UL approved industrial compact enclosure (ICE) and a simple addon module (DC1) to drive low cost D-STN flat panel displays directly from the TFT output signals. Request a free brochure from Eurotech ...
