New RISC Platforms and Services Give Integrators Powerful Functionality
and Flexibility
Advantech
Adds more ARM-based Solutions to Our Product Line
Advantech's
RISC solution development continues to expand, driven by demands
in the embedded application market for platforms with more efficient
power usage, more compact sizes, better reliability as well as
continued cost savings to support the newest embedded applications.
Customers
also need better and faster RISC project support, allowing them
to meet both their time-to-market objectives for state of the
art applications as well as their overall business considerations.
Advantech's
latest offerings include two application ready platforms 2.5"
(APR) that perfectly complement our existing 3.5" platforms
and a series of Arm Module Interface (AMI) modules that speed
up development time through modularized function expansion.
The PCM-7220
is a high performance 2.5" Biscuit SBC with
Intel’s RISC Xscale PXA-255 processor and Windows CE.NET
or Embedded Linux on a 78 x 104 mm (3” x 4”) compact
form factor. The PCM-7320 platform is a more cost effective application
ready board level solution integrating Samsung's ARM9 S3C2410
SOC (System On Chip) on a 78 x 104 mm (3” x 4”) compact
form factor.
Both
platforms are designed to offer customers a fast time to market
and flexible reference platform that is fully customizable. All
functionality has been fully certified and can be leveraged for
customized needs for different hardware configurations and system
optimization based on the customer’s request. Click

processors.
Through the
powerful expansion interface of the AMI-120
(ARM Module Interface), the AMI interface on the PCM-7320
and PCM-7220 acts like a PC/104 socket to x86 platforms. This
allows easy module attachment in a very reliable and low profile
configuration, quickly and easily adding functions to the platform.
These AMI modules are also open to customization as well, allowing
customers to put one or more functions on modules. This gives
integrators the platforms with the functionality that meets their
vertical market application needs, all in a fast, customized solution.
