Embest: Mini6245 Processor Card and SBC6245/SBC6345 Single Board Computer

Overview

Embest Mini6245Mini6245 processor card is a compact ARM embedded controller based on the 400MHz Atmel AT91SAM9G45AT91SAM9G45 ARM926EJ-S microcontroller which is designed to provide a high performance processor solution with a high flexibility for both general and multimedia oriented applications.

The Mini6245Mini6245 processor card has external 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash and 1Kbit EEPROM on board and many peripherals like UART, Ethernet, USB, LCD, Touch screen, SPI, TWI, SDIO, PWM, AC97, JTAG and all IOs are brought out by two 1.27mm space dual row 80-pin female headers which is convenient and flexible for secondary development work.

Embest has also designed two different expansion boards to extend connectivity for implementing and extending the functions of the Mini6245Mini6245. The two boards are the SBC6245 and SBC6345 single board computers. Embest offers Linux 2.6.30 and WinCE 6.0 BSP for the two boards. They are high-performance single board computers designed to meet industrial needs and especially for HMI (human machine interaction) applications.

Embest SBC6245 is an ARM embedded single board computer (SBC) using Atmel AT91SAM9G45AT91SAM9G45 microcontroller which is capable of operating at up to 400MHz. It employs the Mini6245 processor cardMini6245 processor card as the CPU core board and the expansion board has extended the headers for many hardware periphrals including Serial ports, Ethernet, USB Host, LCD, Touch Screen, and RTC. The CPU core board Mini6245Mini6245 has integrated the AT91SAM9G45 CPU, 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash, 1Kbit EEPROM, Ethernet controller on board and connects to the expansion board through two 1.27mm pitch 80-pin connectors.

Embest has also designed a reliable and appealing metal case for the SBC6245 board with 5.6 inch TFT LCD and touch screen which can be used directly for HMI applications, the whole kit is called TH056A1. Users can create their own applications on the platform, this will greatly shorten your products time to market.

Embest SBC6345 is an ARM embedded single board computer (SBC) using Atmel AT91SAM9G45AT91SAM9G45 microcontroller which is capable of operating at up to 400MHz. It also employs the Mini6245Mini6245 as the CPU core board and features 5 UARTs, 2 USB, Ethernet, CAN, LVDS, SD and Audio on board. The CPU core board Mini6245 has integrated the AT91SAM9G45 CPU, 128MB DDR2 SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash, 1Kbit EEPROM, Ethernet controller on board and connects to the expansion board through two 1.27mm pitch 80-pin connectors.

Embest has also designed a reliable and appealing metal case for the SBC6345 board with 10.4 inch TFT LCD and touch screen which can be used directly for HMI applications, the whole kit is called TH104A1. Users can create their own applications on the platform, this will greatly shorten your products time to market.

Key Applications: Industrial needs and especially for HMI (human machine interaction) applications.
