Ready-to-Run Vision Package for ARM(r) Cortex(r)-A8 Single Board Computer Includes CSI Camera Sensor in Powerful Linux-Based Camera Software Development Kit
Micro/sys\\\' SBC5651 ARM Cortex-A8 with Vision Typical Application of SBC5651 SBC with Vision Montrose, California …Micro/sys has enhanced its 2.5-inch Pico-ITX™ ARM Cortex-A8 SBC5651 single board computer with powerful vision capability made for industrial applications requiring video cameras. Featuring a new CSI camera port, the SBC5651 interfaces effortlessly to 24-pin off-the-shelf flex cable cameras, making the SBC5651 well suited for small, low-power, portable, or desktop video applications. Featuring a turnkey Linux development station, the DK5651 Development Kit includes the SBC5651 single board computer, a 24-pin flex cable camera sensor cube, cables, access to a host of software tools, and validated, ready-to-run example programs. Typical applications for the SBC5651 include medical, gaming, ticketing, transportation, security and data logging.
The powerful video and multimedia capability of the SBC5651 centers around Freescale’s i.MX515 ARM CPU with its hardware acceleration capability that enables low-power video processing with high performance graphics. The i.MX515 includes Multi-Standard Hardware Video Codec, Autonomous Image Processing HD unit with an image signal processor, Neon SIMD, accelerometer, and Vector Floating Point coprocessor, plus an integrated 3-D graphics processing unit which provides 27 Mtri/sec and effective 664Mpix/sec and a 2-D graphics processing unit to accelerate Adobe Flash. Video up to 60 frames per second can be routed to the SBC5651 on-board 4G flash for processing by the user’s video application in real-time or it can be saved in an on-board SD card for later retrieval. Users can view real-time streaming video through LCD touch screens (both LVDS and TFT) and can customize LED back light control, keypad interface, and an on-board microphone port for audio recording.

Micro/sys Announces Powerful Low-Cost Industrial Microcontroller with Web Server, Networking, Plus Analog and Digital I/O
PC/104 Sized Microcontroller with PIC32 Micro/sys recently released a low-power single board microcontroller with fully integrated web hosting, networking, and analog I/O on a PC/104 form factor (3.775” x 3.55”). Featuring Microchip’s 80MHz PIC32® microcontroller, the USB3032 is an ideal COTS solution for applications requiring low power in -40˚C to +85˚C operation. USB3032 includes access to Microchip’s easy-to-use and widely supported IDE tool suite and protocol stacks, which, combined with Micro/sys’ 10-year product availability and attractive OEM pricing, allows designers to shorten time-to-market and maximize development productivity while keeping overall system production and maintenance costs low.
With this simple microcontroller, designers can communicate via different communication protocols while their production, security monitoring, data logging, or test and measurement control application continues running. Some mix-and-match protocol conversions available are Ethernet to CAN, CAN to USB, and USB to RS232. For example, a user might want the USB3032 to communicate via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet to an internal IT intranet to transmit instructions for controlling the on-board D/A, A/D or I/O in the field, then forward the results via CAN down-stream to other processes for control. USB3032 performs well in such environments by storing up to 1024 messages in 32 buffers while offering user-selectable filter-to-buffer mapping with 32 filters and 4 filter masks. For maximum data processing over Ethernet and CAN, USB3032 offers a built-in DMA interface.[Continue reading →]
