CPU Module: QONG
CPU compact module based on i.MX31C
Description:
Qong is the brand new DAVE's CPU module. It's an amazing general purpose microprocessor CPU board powered by the Freescale ARM1136 i.MX31C "Dragonball" CPU. Its compact form factor, reliability and low power consumption make it suitable for palm based solutions both in Linux and Windows CE environments. Nevertheless, the performance and the high versatility of the i.MX31C, combined with the powerful FPGA on board, make this CPU module perfect also for industrial applications. The complete list of the available FPGA IP cores is reported here.
Qong features can be evaluated through the development kits, which are now available with the new QongEVB host board.

Qong Profiles
Qong modules come with all essential features needed in order to quickly setup a customized system based on this processor. In order to make customers able to get a product easily, five standard profiles have been defined, each of them implementing different interfaces.
Please try the Qong Profile Wizard to find out which is the profile that better fits your needs:

Development kits:
The Qong Embedded Linux Kit (QELK) and the Qong Windows Embedded CE Kit (QWCK) are available for download for registered users from the restricted area. The development kits include the QongEVB host board or the QongEVB-Lite board.
QongEVB
The QongEVB is the host board that allows customers to test each interface provided by Qong:
The kits based on the QongEVB are QELK-H and QWCK-H
QongEVB-Lite
The QongEVB-Lite is an evaluation board which allow to quickly start working on a Qong system:
The Qong EVB-Lite is built around the Qong module, adding real-world, edge-of-board connectors for the most common I/O interfaces and offers 256MB DDR RAM and 128MB each of NOR and NAND flash.
The kits based on the QongEVB-Lite are QELK-L and QWCK-L.
An optional kit component is the LCD adapter, which allows customers to connect one of the supported displays to the QongEVB/QongEVB-Lite, adding off-the-shelf graphical capabilities (see picture below).
