VCMA9: 32-bit ARM9 CPU Board

With 2 SFP+ 10Gbit ports

Description

Overview

ARM Based Embedded CPU Board

The VCMA9 is a highly integrated and robust Versatile Computer Module in a small form factor. The VCMA9 is based around a microcontoller using the sophisticated ARM920T core and additional implements a complete set of common system peripherals. Besides these features the VCMA9 offers Ethernet, CAN and DAC. Main memory up to 128MB SDRAM are available onboard. For storage media soldered NAND-Flash is used. Additional expansions can be made through the expansion bus connector. All this together, makes this single board computer extremely flexible and versatile.

The VCMA9 represents a unique solution for today's demanding industrial needs. It has the ability to be operated under extreme conditions without the need of fans. Depopulated versions are available and can be tailored to customer requirements.

VCMA9 Highlights

are (among many others) the extreme low power consumption (<1.5W). An ARM9-CPU based solution with soldered SDRAM, NAND-Flash as mass storage device and a complete set of peripherals like 3 serial ports, USB, LCD, Ethernet, CAN, and many more. An open source bootloader and LINUX board support package are available as well as support & consulting.

Unique features are

 

  • Low power, high performance and small size
  • Up to 128MB SDRAM and up to 128 MB mass storage device onboard
  • Complete set of system peripherals (UARTs, USB, LAN, CAN, ADC, DAC, DIO, I2C, SPI, I2S, SD, LCD)
  • Various boot sources (UART, USB, LAN, Flash)
  • These features make the VCMA9 to the ideal solution for any application where a none x86 architecture is preferred and a high quality, small size, low power expandable Industrial Single Board Computer is needed. The product can be used in applications like in medicine, transportation systems, telecom or any other industrial needs.
