Technologic Systems' TS-7500 is 250MHz ARM9 based new embedded computer with an Linux embedded development platform providing features, such as high-speed USB2.0, a customizable FPGA, and targets compact, low-cost and low-power embedded applications. ARM9 powered CPU used in this board is from Cavium CPU and the 5000 LUT capable FPGA is from Lattice Semiconductor.

Other key features are,

64 MB DDR-RAM
4 MB NOR Flash
1 micro SDHC card slot
USB2 480Mbit/s Host/Slave
1 10/100 Ethernet
8 TTL UART
33 DIO, SPI and I2C interfaces
Watchdog Timer
Optional BB-RTC, CAN bus, WiFi
Power-over-Ethernet ready
Small size (67mm x 75mm)
Low power (400mA @ 5V)
Fanless operation from 0°C to 70°C
Unbrickable, boots from SD or Flash
Boots Linux 2.6 in less than 3 seconds

The TS-7500 development kit includes the TS-ENC750 enclosure with the TS-752 base board. The TS-752 base board demonstrates the power of the TS-7500, implementing Relays, RS-232, RS-485, power over Ethernet, and signal protection for DIO.

The full-featured Debian Linux (version Lenny-Arm) distribution is available on the development micro-SD Card and includes a complete GNU C/C++ embedded development environment installed. The Apache Web Server, FTP, SSH, Telnet and other network services are also available with C/PHP for embedded CGI development. In addition, Eclipse IDE for Windows has been configured for out-of-the-box embedded development with the TS-7500 computer and is also included on the micro-SD Card.

Price:
TS-7500: $139 for qty 1, $99 for qty 10 and $84 for qty 100.
TS-7500 development kit: priced at $200

Availability: From July 2009
