DIN Rail CPU 60 - high end Cortex-A8 Embedded PC Module

DIN Rail CPU 60


The device DIN Rail CPU 60 is equipped with an ICnova i.MX536 SODIMM module. It operates with an Freescale i.MX536 Cortex-A8 core at 800MHz CPU clock.


Features:

  • ICnova i.MX536 SODIMM module with up to 800 MHz CPU clock
  • 512MB DDR3-RAM
  • 8MB NOR-Flash
  • 4GB NAND-Flash
  • External µSD cardreader
  • 2x ADC Input / 2x DAC Output
  • 4x digital input
  • 4x RS485, 1x CAN, 2x RS232 interface
  • 1x 10/100 Base-T-Ethernet-Port
  • Each 1x UART for uplink and downlink
  • 2x USB interface ( 1x Host, 1x Device)
  • Arbitrary number of modules mountable side by side
  • Easy connection of all modules with BUS connector
  • All modules can communicate via UART and RS485
  • DIN Rail enclosure: 6 pitch units (div)
  • Other DIN-Rail modules available
  • Linux OS, toolchain and sources are included
  • Input voltage: 24V DC
  • Tempearture range from -10°C to +70°C

How To

Access to Linux The boot and default login console are provided on the "RS232 (DBG UART)" connector with the following parameters:

 - Baudrate: 115200
 - Databits: 8
 - Stopbit: 1
 - Parity: none
 - Flow control: none

A new image can be loaded by SD-card or over Network. By default the Bootloader is configured to search for a SD-card. If a SD-card with a suitable Linux-Image was found, the system starts to boot from the SD-card. Otherwise the system starts from the internal flash memory.

Accessing the 7 Segment Display The DIN Rail CPU 60 has a 7 Segment Display on board. The following command sets the characters on the display:

 $ echo cf > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/bcd

Software

All Modules provided by In-Circuit usually have a Buildroot based system preinstalled, so they can be used out of the box.

The Support-CD contains all sources, incl. Linux 2.6.35, which are needed to build a toolchain and a working filesystem for the DIN Rail CPU 60.

If you are new to kernel building please refer to First_Steps_with_Buildroot.

A version currently unter development for buildroot 2014.02 is available here. For this version full functionality is not guaranteed.
