There’s a new extension board for SwiftLite-OM, shipping sometime very soon, which, as well as bringing a number of interfaces to 0.1″ headers (I2C, Camera, SPI, MMC, LCD) features two additional RS-232 ports, a USB Hub and JTAG connector.
We’re pleased to say that TRITON-TX51 is now shipping, complete with shiny new BSPs. The initial Windows CE 6.0 BSP is pretty complete – just ask for details
Obviously if you’re making a handheld device, boot time can be an issue. With our OMAP3530 based SwiftModule-OM, we’re seeing boot times in the region of 15 – 20 seconds. There are various things that can be done to reduce this, such as reducing the image size and using BinFS.
However, for many applications, the availability of Suspend and Resume support is critical. Unfortunately this is not available as a standard feature of the TI/BSquare BSP, but I’m pleased to say it’s now up and running our platform. Obviously a system in Suspend does not have the power switched off, and there will be some current flow. We are currently seeing 5.5ma (deep sleep), but in many situations, this is a small price to pay for the 120msec for full resume!
We expect to achieve further reductions in the deep sleep current.
Obviously the answer is yes.
So, we’ve started a blog as a way to collect some of the technical themes than run through our day-to-day work which may be of interest to the wider world.
Like that day-to-day work, recurring themes will be Windows Embedded, low-power solutions and the like.
P.S. The best way to follow this or any other irregular blog is to set up an RSS feed, so that you are automatically alerted about updates. If you press the “subscribe” button in the top right corner, and then subscribe via Google Reader (other RSS readers are available!), this tool can automatically send notifications and links to a suitable widget or gadget on your iGoogle page, other home page, device, or desktop.
