Embedded servers boosted by 1GHz Pentium III CPUs
Force Computers has upgraded the performance of its Flexor System 1 and System 2 embedded servers.
The new module delivers an ideal solution for applications where low power dissipation and cost-effectiveness are essential.
As the number of applications for small-footprint processor modules increases, Force's PowerPMC boards can adapt to meet their needs.
For example, the PowerPMC-230 serves as either a monarch or non-monarch processor when connected to a motherboard platform.
Overall, the PowerPMC family offers modularity to significantly expand design options available to developers.
As the most cost-effective member of the PowerPMC product family, the PowerPMC-230 implements the 333/400MHz PowerPC 750 processor onto a PMC form-factor for a compact embedded computing platform.
It is fully compatible with the VITA-32 draft standard.
In addition, it features: 8Mbyte Flash memory (option to 16Mbyte); a 32bit/33MHz PCI interface; an optional 10/100 Ethernet interface (via 82559); an optional IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG interface; debug support; and support for both VxWorks and Linux.
