Embest introduced another ARM9 board based on Cirrus Logic EP9315 microcontroller.

The Board takes full features of the high-performance Cirrus Logic EP9315 microcontroller system-on-chip and full Bus and peripheral signals are expanded through interfaces on board including IDE, CAN, LCD & Touchscreen, VGA/S-Video/Composive output, Ethernet, PS/2, UART, USB Host, IIS, CF card, keyboard, Jtag, etc. There is also a PCMCIA interface on the rear of the board which supports one 16-bit PCMCIA PC Card to add memory, mass storage and I/O capabilities to computer systems and thus can be used to further broaden the options of a designer’s platform. The LCD and Raster interface of EP9315 is with a graphics accelerator which is used in the system to off load graphics operations from the processor.

The NK9315 board supports high-lever operating systems such as Linux[], Windows CE and other embedded operating systems. The board’s code support package includes WINCE.net 4.2 BSP, embedded Linux source code and a download utility.

Typical applications of Embest NK9315 board are POS (Point-of sale), internet audio, internet access devices, industrial computers, test and measurement equipments, digital media servers, industrial controls, biometric security systems, etc.
