Products and Technologies for Embedded Systems and Networking

---

is the top-class Cortex-A8 CPU module by DAVE, based on the brand new Texas Instruments "DaVinci" DM814x / "Sitara" AM387x application processor.


is a high-performance CPU module, designed to cover all requirements for a high range of applications where connectivity, rich user-interfaces and high computing capabilities are required, including industrial electronics, security systems, home automation and medical applications.


Description:

offers great computaional power, thanks to the rich set of coprocessors (NEON Media Technology, PowerVR SGX 530 3D accelerator, High Definition Video Coprocessing Engine, HD Video Processing Subsystem), keeping and extremely compact form factor (70mm x 50mm). Other standing out features are the C674x DSP (available on the DM814x processor), on-board NOR and NAND flash memories, support for high-resolution displays and industrial specification compliance (including the extended operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C).


is designed in order to keep full compatibiliy with the Performance Line CPU modules (Lizard and Zefeer), to guarantee the economic and technical value of customers past investments, increasing at the same time performance, efficiency and software support.
