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