Digi Extends Device Networking Expertise into Core Modules; Announcing the Industry's first network-optimized series of 32-bit core modules.MINNETONKA, Minn. -- Digi International (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :DGII DGII Dirección General de Impuestos Internos DGII Directorate General of Human Rights (EU) DGII Deutschsprachige Gesellschaft für Intraokularlinsen-Implantation und refraktive Chirurgie (German) ) today announced the introduction of the ConnectCore(TM) 9C, the industry's first network-optimized ARM9-based core module targeted for products including, access control systems, point-of-sale systems, RFID readers, medical devices and instrumentation, networked displays, and many more. Digi's ConnectCore(TM) 9C is a powerful, compact 32-bit core module in a universal SO-DIMM See SODIMM. SO-DIMM - Small Outline DIMM form factor that enables customers to easily design in main processing functionality with Ethernet networking capabilities in a single high-performance solution. Future wireless and cellular versions will be fully interchangeable; customers will be able to design their products once for multiple network technologies. "Digi's ConnectCore(TM) 9C extends our embedded family of products to include a true core module built on our powerful NS9360 microprocessor" said Joel Young, vice president of engineering, Digi International. "The ConnectCore(TM) 9C series enables customers to focus on higher level I/O interfaces specific to their application instead of getting bogged down in the complexities of high-end microcontroller design." Based on the NS9360 processor, Digi's ConnectCore(TM) 9C provides an outstanding level of functionality including 10/100Base-T Ethernet, 4MB Flash, 16MB RAM and up to four high-speed TTL (1) (Time To Live) A parameter in a network packet that sets a time limit to its validity. In order to prevent an IP packet from propagating endlessly through the network, the value in the TTL field is reduced by each router. serial ports. It also features an integrated LCD controller, a mix of up to four high-speed serial ports and SPI (1) (Stateful Packet Inspection) See stateful inspection. (2) (Service Provider Interface) The programming interface for developing Windows drivers under WOSA. Interfaces, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 host/device interfaces with full-speed support, an I2C bus interface, and up to 55 GPIOs to meet broad application needs. The NET+Works package helps companies to network embedded devices by eliminating the burden of software sourcing, integration and maintenance. The kit includes a development board, hardware or software debugging options, GNU tools, a board support package, the ThreadX real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. , a TCP/IP stack and a rich set of device networking applications software and sample code. "In utilizing our common software platform and development tools, product design time can be cut in half while allowing customers to re-use a design across multiple network technologies" added Young. "In addition, Digi's ConnectCore(TM) 9C offers processor speed grade, memory, and connector population options allowing customers to choose tailored solutions that best fit their specific application environment." At ESC See escape character and escape key. See also ESC/P. ESC - escape , Digi's ConnectCore(TM) 9C is being demonstrated in a thin client application. Utilizing Virtual Network Computer (VNC (Virtual Network Computing) Open source remote control software for accessing host computers from a variety of remote clients. A VNC "server" is the host being accessed, while the VNC "client" is the remote device doing the controlling and viewing. ) technology, NET+OS 6.2, USB attached keyboard and mouse, and an LCD display, the ConnectCore(TM) 9C functions as a thin client while significantly reducing the costs associated with traditional thin clients or dedicated computer/terminals. General availability of the ConnectCore(TM) 9C development kits and modules will be June 2005.
