In addition to practical and does not require a lot of places, a small computer or what is known as a Single Board Computer (SBC) was also only consumes a relatively small electrical energy to operate so that they apply to embedded systems. Like personal computers, the market encountered a variety of SBC from various vendors and has a variety of capabilities as needed. SBC designed for specific purposes, seems to be increasingly on the rise with the presence of popular platforms such as Android 2.3 and Linux. The SBC device in question is developed by the company Nitrogen53 Boundary Devices
What makes this system so attractive is because this system is basically built using processors made by Freescale Semiconductor i.MX535 1GHz, which in fact is in addition to low power, but also strong and reliable enough to perform some computing tasks are OK.
Thanks to the existence of the ARM Cortex-A8 i.MX535 in it that comes with 2D/3D graphics accelerator and memory capacity of 2GB DDR2 RAM so that it can to help small computing solutions in achieving the level of performance is quite good even when faced with some serious multimedia content even if ( can play 1080p video quality).
In addition, this Nitrogen53 system also offers support SATA and two microSD card slot that can be used as additional storage space. Coupled with the presence of connectivity options here, such as the RS232 serial port, I2C, four USB ports, and 10/100 Ethernet with support for Power over Ethernet.
Other features include an interface that also involved a 5 megapixel camera, speakers and microphone, plus a resistive touch controller, not to mention HDMI, LVDS and TTL interface display solutions. With the accelerator hardware OpenGL ® ES 2.0 and 1.1 OpenVG ™, this system is ideal for 3D applications.
Following a specific configuration (ARM-based platforms) can run well on Android operating system 2.3 and Linux, it is reportedly the Boundary Devices also will soon bring support for WindowsCE 7.0 in the SBC product.
"The existence i.MX53 processor provides high levels of performance, flexibility and multimedia capabilities make it very suitable for this fleet Nitrogen products," said Ken Obuszewski, director of product management i.MX, Freescale. And it also feels proud to be working with innovators such as Boundary Devices company that can continually meet the growing needs of its customers.
However, it is, unfortunately there are no pricing details revealed so far. Then how gait next? Yes We'll see!
