nanoRISC®

nanoRISC® modules can be used as a processing “supercomponent”, while users only need to add application specific periphery. The nanoRISC® Standard uses a compact module size of 70mm x 50mm. The module PCBs have 230 edge fingers that mate with a low profile 230 pin 0.5mm pitch connector called MXM-2 which is available in abundance, rugged and proven.

The nanoRISC® module standard has been created for applications requiring a very small form factor and lowest power consumption.

The nanoRISC® modules simplify the design of embedded systems by providing a processor core with an extensive set of interfaces on a small form factor board. Boot loader and adaptations for popular Operating Systems will be provided by Avnet Embedded so that design times will be shortened dramatically.

MSC NANORISC-MB2

Free

MSRP:

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 evaluation platform MSC nanoRISC® MB2 offers a variety of interfaces commonly used in embedded applications such as LAN, USB, UARTs, Audio and Graphics RGB 18/24 Bit and extension connectors for graphics and for general interfaces such as SATA, PCIe, CAN (CPU I/O), Local Bus, I²C and SPI. In addition Touch Controllers for Projected Capacitive Touches (PCT) and for Resistive Touches are provided. An SD Card socket is supported to enhance the usability and functionality of the nanoRISC® motherboard.

Starter Kits

Tria’s nanoRISC® starter kits are the best way to start building a prototype with the nanoRISC® module standard. Browse our starter kits below and get in touch if you’d like to get hold of one.

The nanoRISC Evaluation and Development Kit is a complete, ready-to-run Starterkit für MSC’s range of nanoRISC processor modules. It consists of the nanoRISC Embedded Platform Board MB2, a suitable Power Supply and a 7-inch WVGA Display and a suitable Debug Adapter. The nanoRISC module of choice and the appropriate SD Card with pre-installed Linux Operating System must be ordered separately. The complete BSP (Board Support Package) and further Drivers and Tools can be downloaded from the MSC FTP server. Users can select any nanoRISC processor module and use it with the Starterkit. The resulting hardware will then be immediately ready for use.
