Module family unveiled at Embedded World

Digi International has introduced what it describes as the ‘industry’s fastest ARM9 based wired and wireless embedded core module family’.

ConnectCore 9M 2443 and ConnectCore Wi-9M 2443 was launched at Embedded World 2009 and supports Windows CE and Linux operating systems. The pin compatible wired and 802.11a/b/g core modules are suitable for display and embedded multimedia applications such as networked displays, medical devices, building access controls, energy management devices and time and attendance devices. Based on the Samsung S3C2443 ARM9 microprocessor, it operates at up to 533MHz. Both the ConnectCore 9M 2443 and ConnectCore Wi-9M 2443 feature a multilayered memory bus architecture that allows simultaneous data transfer between processor, memory and peripherals. This is designed to eliminate the traditional bus bandwidth bottlenecks common on other platforms. The modules also feature peripheral and multimedia connectivity options including an integrated lcd controller, usb2.0 support and support for SD memory cards.
