AMD Geode GX SOM-144 Reference Design Kit provides low-power solutions for industrial computing applications.AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) has announced the availability of the AMD Geode GX SOM-144 Reference Design Kit (RDK RDK Reference Design Kit RDK Red Dragon Karate (compilation of different major styles, mostly based on Shotokan) RDK Reload Delay Kit RDK Report Developer Kit RDK Rapid Deployment Kit RDK Re-Distribution Kit RDK Render Developer Kit ), a low-power, high-performance System-On-Module designed to speed development and functionality of the next generation of industrial computing products, such as embedded controllers, point-of-sale terminals, information appliances and kiosks. The RDK is a small form factor reference design tool that includes both hardware and software specifications. Based on the AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor, the RDK provides customers with an affordable, targeted solution that can be easily configured to address industrial application performance needs throughout the design and development cycle. To meet demands for more compact, powerful devices, manufacturers require a design solution that allows for flexibility while supporting widely adopted industry standards. The AMD Geode GX SOM-144 RDK is based on the x86 architecture The generic term x86 refers to the "CISC" type instruction set of the most commercially successful CPU architecture[1] in the history of personal computing, used in processors from Intel, AMD, VIA, and others. and is optimized to provide optimal power/performance for small form factors. "Design engineers in the embedded market Refers to custom-designed, computer-based devices and applications that perform a fixed set of tasks. It may refer to cellphones and other handhelds, network appliances (routers, access points, modems) and myriad consumer electronics products. are developing increasingly complex designs within small form factors," said Erik Salo, AMD's director of marketing for the Personal Connectivity Solutions Group. "The AMD Geode SOM-144 RDK represents AMD's ongoing commitment to provide customer development solutions for low-power, high-performance products. Designers using the AMD Geode GX SOM-144 RDK will have an integrated suite of tools at their fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number-one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States. to help reduce development cost and time-to-market for embedded applications, as well as AMD's commitment to provide long-term support." The AMD Geode GX SOM-144 RDK is a reference design platform designed for small, embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. or industrial applications where power, size, performance and reliability are crucial issues. The highly integrated AMD Geode GX SOM-144 RDK is a complete x86 solution, providing materials needed to quickly and efficiently move embedded computing appliance solutions to market. It is capable of processing multiple applications locally, a need required by a number of embedded markets. |
