Cogent ships Atmel AT91RM9200 OEM board

First OEM board for key ARM920T microcontroller

Cogent has begun shipments of the CSB337 OEM board, based on the Atmel AT91RM9200 ARM920T processor, which sets new standards for price/performance, thanks to its unequalled array of on-chip peripherals, including USB 2.0 Host and Device, SPI, 10/100MBit Ethernet, IrDA, 4-bit SDIO, high speed synchronous controllers with I2S, 3.8Mbps UARTs, and EPI Majic-compatible ETM embedded trace.

The 81mm x 89mm board provides 32MB SDRAM and 8MB Flash, CAN controller, and Epson S1D13706 display controller. CompactFlash, and a wide range of interfaces are accessed via one of a range of optional piggyback breakout boards, which include optional LCD screen. The address, data and GPIO buses are all accessible.

Software support includes the Micromonitor Boot ROM. There is a BSP for the open-source RTEMS RTOS, and a Windows CE.NET and Micrium uC/OS II ports will be available.

The CSB337 is currently back-ordered for 2-3 weeks, but will be shipping from stock from mid-November 2003.
