Embest is shipping a single board computer based on the Texas Instruments Cortex-A8-based DM3730 or AM3715 system on chips. The DevKit8500D -- also available from Premier Farnell's Element14 engineering community as the DM3730-EVK Evaluation Kit -- is equipped with DVI-D, Ethernet, USB 2.0, and serial expansion interfaces, plus options including touchscreens, wireless modules, and cameras....
Texas Instruments announced two new 45nm-fabricated processors including 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 cores and performance of up to 2000 Dhrystone MIPS. The AM3703 and Open GL graphics-accelerated AM3715 are descendants of TI's OMAP35x line, while an enhanced version of the AM3715 will be part of the BeagleBoard-xM development board that was also announced today....
E-con Systems has announced a five megapixel camera add-on designed to work with the Texas Instruments (TI) DM3730 evaluation module (EVM). The e-CAM50_DM35x snaps onto the EVM board and connects to the high-speed CMOS sensor interface on TI's DM37xx or Sitara AM37xx processors, providing 720p video capture as well as stills, the company says....
BeagleBoard.org has tipped a new version of its open-platform development board for hobbyists, sporting a faster 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 SoC and twice the memory. The BeagleBoard-xM runs an upcoming Texas Instruments & DM3730& processor with 512MB of low-power DDR RAM, and a new on-board, four-port USB hub with 10/100 Ethernet, all in a 3.25 × 3.25-inch footprint....
Texas Instruments announced four new low-end members of its industrial-focused Sitara SoC family, this time building on ARM9 cores instead of the ARM Cortex-A8. The AM1808, AM1806, AM1707, and AM1705 Sitara processors offer peripherals including MMC/SD, Ethernet, SATA, and USB, and also supply a ne...
Long-time Texas Instruments (TI) hardware partner Mistral Solutions announced an open-platform development board based on TI's industrial focused, Cortex-A8-based AM35x Sitara system-on-chips (SoCs).
CompuLab announced an ARM Cortex-A8 COM (computer on module) with up to 256MB of RAM, 512MB of flash storage, 10/100 Ethernet, plus integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Linux-ready CM-T3517 comes with Texas Instruments (TI) Sitara AM3505 or AM3517 CPUs clocked at up to 600MHz, has a touchscreen controller, and includes a camera interface, according to the company....
Texas Instruments announced four new low-end members of its industrial-focused Sitara SoC family, this time building on ARM9 cores instead of the ARM Cortex-A8. The AM1808, AM1806, AM1707, and AM1705 Sitara processors offer peripherals including MMC/SD, Ethernet, SATA, and USB, and also supply a new Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU) for customizable I/O....
[Updated: 12:15PM] -- AppliedMicro announced a system-on-chip (SoC) said to offer the industry's smallest form factor for a Power Architecture-based product. The APM801xx costs only $10 in volume, uses a PowerPC core clocked at 400MHz, 600MHz, or 800MHz, ships with a Linux eval kit, and enables networked embedded consumer devices that run on less than a single Watt, claims the company....
