Single board computers exploit the advantages of the S3C2440A ARM920 processor for portable and mobile products, combining small size with low power consumption.

Embest has released two single board computers built around the S3C2440A ARM920 microcontroller.

Both SBCs exploit the advantages of the S3C2440A processor for portable and mobile products, combined with small size and low power consumption.

The SBC2440-I has two Ethernet ports, supporting a variety of other onboard peripherals such as 1Mbyte NOR Flash, 64Mbyte NAND Flash, 64Mbyte SDRAM, USB Host and USB Device, RS232 and TTL, IDE interface, battery backed RTC, LEDs and reset buttons.

In addition to this, expansion connections are made available via a number of header connectors and support peripheral LCD hardware, touch screen, matrix keypad, SD card, JTAG and 16 GPIOs.

The SBC2440-II features 64Mbyte NAND Flash, 64Mbyte SDRAM, USB Host and USB Device, serial ports, Ethernet interface, camera interface, battery backed RTC, LEDs and reset buttons.

It also supports LCD hardware, touch screen, SD card, JTAG, system bus and GPIOs.

Both boards are capable of supporting Linux and WinCE operating systems.

Embest provides Linux 2.6.13 source code and a Windows CE 4.2.net BSP with each board.
