Embedded development kit for Windows CE 6.0
Digi International launched at Embedded World a development kit with board support package (BSP) for Microsoft's Windows Embedded CE version 6.0 for ARM processors and built-in wireless networking.
Wireless modules drop in to connect
ConnectPort X gateways, XBee adapters and development kits that are compatible with existing XBee and XBee-Pro 802.15.4 embedded RF modules.
Future wireless and cellular versions will be fully interchangeable; customers will be able to design their products once for multiple network technologies.
"Digi's ConnectCore 9C extends our embedded family of products to include a true core module built on our powerful NS9360 microprocessor", said Joel Young, Vice President of Engineering, Digi International.
"The ConnectCore 9C series enables customers to focus on higher level I/O interfaces specific to their application instead of getting bogged down in the complexities of high-end microcontroller design".

The Digi Connect ME 9210 offers customers the highest speed and memory available on a device server with a 75MHz ARM9 processor and 8Mbyte RAM and 2 or 4Mbyte Flash.
Gateway and adapter go industrial
New products add rugged industrial-grade alternatives to Digi's Drop-in Networking product line.
Based on the NS9360 processor, Digi's ConnectCore 9C provides an outstanding level of functionality including 10/100Base-T Ethernet, 4Mbyte Flash, 16Mbyte RAM and up to four high-speed TTL serial ports.
It also features an integrated LCD controller, a mix of up to four high-speed serial ports and SPI Interfaces, USB 2.0 host/device interfaces with full-speed support, an I2C bus interface, and up to 55 GPIOs to meet broad application needs.
The NET+Works package helps companies to network embedded devices by eliminating the burden of software sourcing, integration and maintenance.
The kit includes a development board, hardware or software debugging options, Gnu tools, a board support package, the ThreadX real-time operating system, a TCP/IP stack and a rich set of device networking applications software and sample code.
"In utilising our common software platform and development tools, product design time can be cut in half while allowing customers to re-use a design across multiple network technologies", added Young.
"In addition, Digi's ConnectCore 9C offers processor speed grade, memory, and connector population options allowing customers to choose tailored solutions that best fit their specific application environment".
General availability of the ConnectCore 9C development kits and modules will be June 2005.
