MSC NANORISC-AM335X
nanoRISC® is a module concept combining the latest low power RISC controllers and embedded interfaces on a small form factor COM (Computer On Module). Ideally suited for embedded applications, a variety of easy-to-use interfaces are available.
The nanoRISC® form factor has been created for applications requiring a small form factor and lowest power consumption. nanoRISC® modules will be plugged onto an application-specific baseboard.
The design of the nanoRISC® AM335X module is based on the new Texas Instruments® Cortex™-A8 CPU offering a wide performance range, lowest power consumption and a high degree of functional integration for entry level embedded applications. The AM335X processor is combined with DDR3 SDRAM, SLC NAND Flash and a power management controller (PMIC). Optionally, the module can be used with 2x 10/100 LAN or even GbE LAN
The module is available in commercial and extended temperature range. Support for Linux and Windows CE is available.
