RDS announces TechNexion EDM modules and carrier boards
Review Display Systems Ltd (RDS) is introducing TechNexion's EDM modules and carrier boards. EDM Standard is the first complete open hardware and software standard for x86 and ARM computer on modules under the creative commons share alike licence. This first true pin-to-pin Computer on Module standard merges ARM and x86 into a true swap drop-in replacement where not only hardware but also software are tailored to give design engineers the freedom to choose the performance and underlying hardware specifically for their project, based on the application and end equipment.
EDM1-CF-iMX6 is an EDM Type 1 Compact Module with Freescale i.MX6 Cortex-A9. This scalable single/dual/quad core EDM type 1 compact System-on-Module provides gigabit LAN, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth v. 4.0 communications, and targets multimedia applications with LVDS, TTL, HDMI, S/PDIF, I2S, MIPI camera and display.
EDM2-CF-iMX6 is an EDM Type 2 Compact Module with Freescale i.MX6 Cortex-A9. This scalable single/dual/quad core EDM type 2 compact System-on-Module provides gigabit LAN, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth v. 4.0 communications, and targets multimedia applications with dual channel LVDS, HDMI, S/PDIF, I2S, MIPI camera and display
"Fairy' is a carrier board for EDM type 1 Compact modules. It enables the fast development of mobile embedded devices, and features a variety of sensors and interconnects. Display interfaces include HDMI, TTL and LVDS while communications by dual PCI Express (with SIM Cardslots) are dual CAN Bus, dual UART, USB and 8 GPIOs for Industrial control.
"Wizard' is an official EVM carrier board for EDM type 2 modules, which delivers a rich variety of interfaces and options. There's a wide range of jumper-selectable audio, video and touch interfaces with optional smart battery-pack implementation.
RDS has iMX6 start kits available now for demonstration to include a kit based on the solo core module with 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB iNAND, Gigabit LAN & 2 CAN; a kit based on Dualite core module with 1GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 4GB iNAND, Gigabit LAN & 2 CAN; and a kit based on Quad core module with 1GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 4GB iNAND, Gigabit LAN & 2 CAN. All three are also available with Bluetooth and WiFi.
