Z-World announces a breakthrough product, the Jackrabbit - a high-performance, single board computer stocked with I/O, memory and communication ports.
Low power, half-size SBC offers PC/104
SBC-558 is a pure-Intel Embedded Low Power Half-Size CPU Card with LCD, Ethernet, and PC/104 Plus Interface
Measuring just 1.90" x 2.30", the RCM is compact while still encompassing the components needed to launch any custom design.
These components include: * 40 general purpose I/Os.
* SRAM and Flash.
* Memory I/O interface - 13 address lines, 8 data lines, I/O Read/Write.
* Backup battery interface.
* Master-slave control pins.
* Five 8-bit and two 10-bit timers.
* Four CMOS compatible serial ports.
* Rabbit 2000 microprocessor.
Fast number crunching provided by a 25.8Mhz clock along with flash and SRAM provide a development-ready memory interface.
The Rabbit 2000 Core Module is ready for immediate software development.
User programs are developed using software partner Z-World's Dynamic C, a C-language environment which includes an editor, compiler and a debugger.
Programs can be compiled and executed using the Dynamic C software and a programming cable.
No in-circuit emulator is required.
The Rabbit 2000 Core Module is ideal for reducing production costs, prototyping a new design, and reducing time-to-market.
In addition to the development kit, there are three versions of the Rabbit 2000 Core Module currently available - a base core module with 25.8 MHz clock and 512K SRAM, a core module with 25.8 MHz clock and 128K SRAM, and a core module with 18.432 MHz clock and 128K SRAM.
The Rabbit 2000 Core Module Development Kit provides a simple, inexpensive way to begin hardware and software development using the Rabbit 2000 Core Modules and includes a Rabbit 2000 Core Module (RCM2020), getting started quick-reference guide, prototyping board, programming cable, documentation including user manual and schematics on CD ROM, and a complete Dynamic C software development system (not a trial version).
The core module and prototyping board allows immediate development and compilation.
A host PC downloads executable code into flash memory or battery backed RAM.
Pricing for the development kit is just ?120.
Core Module pricing starts at just ?28.
