Digi Releases Industry's Fastest ARM9 Based Wired and Wireless Embedded Core
Module Family
MINNETONKA, Minn., Mar. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --
New family ideal for devices with displays and multimedia requirements
Digi International (Nasdaq: DGII) today introduced the ConnectCore(TM) 9M
2443 and ConnectCore(TM) Wi-9M 2443, the industry's fastest ARM9-based, network
enabled embedded core modules. Supporting both Windows CE and Linux operating
systems, the pin-compatible wired and 802.11a/b/g core modules feature state-of-
the-art peripherals, rich development resources and speed making the products
ideal for display and embedded multimedia applications. This includes embedded
applications in networked displays, medical devices, building access controls,
energy management devices, time and attendance devices, scales and other devices
with multimedia or display technology.
"The ConnectCore 9M 2443 series is 33 percent faster than any other ARM9-
based core module available," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global
sales and marketing, Digi International. "This level of speed can reduce
development time by allowing engineers to reuse existing ARM9 code in wired and
wireless applications that require high levels of speed and support."
Based on the Samsung S3C2443 ARM9 microprocessor and operating at up to 533
MHz, 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 eliminates the traditional bus bandwidth
bottlenecks that are common on other platforms. For example, updating graphical
information through the LCD controller and retrieving data from memory at the
same time can now be realized without compromising overall performance and user
experience.
The modules also feature a full set of peripheral and multimedia connectivity
options including an integrated LCD controller, USB 2.0 support and support for
SD Memory cards. This allows embedded developers to support the latest
peripherals in their products. Additionally, the modules feature off-the-shelf
hardware and software support for all power management modes making the modules
ideal for low power and battery powered/mobile applications.
The ConnectCore 9M 2443 is fully tested and CE certified, and the ConnectCore
Wi-9M 2443 will be certified upon availability. The modules also feature a 5-
year manufacturer's warranty, the longest core module warranty available in the
industry. ConnectCore 9M 2443 Windows CE 6.0 Digi JumpStart Kits(R) are
available now for an introductory price of $399. Linux Digi JumpStart kits will
be available in May 2009. ConnectCore Wi-9M 2443 Digi JumpStart Kits will be
available in June 2009. For more information, please visit
