Platform to help designers save time and money

  • Platform to help designers save time and money

RS Components has released its Embedded Development Platform, which has been designed to help engineers save cost and time during the product design phase.


The solution consists of a baseboard, which can hold up to four cpu or application modules. The EDP is said to be the first step in a process that will see the regular introduction of new processor and application modules.
The baseboard measures 220 x 100mm and is fitted with rubber feet for laying flat on the bench. It can also be used in a standard rack system. By adding a 64way DIN connector (not supplied), the EDP can be plugged into a backplane. The board is fitted with 3.3V and 5V regulators, a back up battery, RJ45 Ethernet and mini USB connectors, 12V dc power supply jack, I/O breakout header and eight DIP switches ported onto the system i²c bus.
