M2M Developer Kit
Oxford Semiconductor is shipping a Linux-based development kit for its recently-launched ARM9-based SoC (system-on-chip) for machine-to-machine (M2M) messaging applications, including factory automation, POS (point-of-sales), and building management. The DS-OXETHx954 kit comes with Wind River Platform Linux, and trial versions of Wind River and CodeSourcery tools.
Oxford announced its OXETHU954 chip last month. The SoC is based on a 200MHz ARM926EJS processor, with Ethernet, PCI, serial, and optional USB interfaces.
Additional touted Kit features include:
- Support facilities aimed at rapid hardware prototyping
- I2C access to on-board EEPROM
- Real time clock
- Port expander for multiplication of the chip’s standard GPIO capability
- Array of on-board pushbutton switches, LEDs, and header strips
- JTAG support
