Direct Insight Tools and Platforms for Intel Monahans Embedded Processors
Devices:
Monahans is the latest member of same family as PXA255 and PXA270 which
have become the microcontroller of choice for applications needing
multimedia performance combined with low power consumption, running
WindowsCE 5.0 or embedded Linux.
As a member of the Intel Communications Alliance, and official distributor
of Intel Software Products, Direct Insight provides tools, designs,
modules, services and technical support and advice to anyone wishing
to design in or evaluate Monahans.
Monahans modules and development systems: TRITON
Our
TRITON-290 module and StarterKit-4 development systems combine an out-of-the-box
development solution for Monahans with production quality module and
Board Support Packages (BSPs) for Windows CE.NET 5.0 or embedded Linux
2.6.x, allowing you to get to market in double-quick time by designing
in our platform rather than starting from scratch.
The TRITON-290 is even smaller than its market leading cousin the TRITON-270
measuring just 68mm x 26mm . This plugs into the StarterKit-4, which
provides connectors for the Monahans application processor's extensive
on-chip peripheral set, as well as adding interfaces such Ethernet,
Video DAC and AC'97 audio/touchscreen controller.
The development setup comes with either WindowsCE 5.0 or Linux installed,
with an optional WVGA touch-screen monitor.
For production, you simply design your own baseboard with the necessary
connectors, and modify the supplied production-quality BSP to suit
your interfaces. Or we can do this work for you.
Monahans reference designs: Sophia
Sandgate-III
Sandgate III is our new reference platform for Monahans. Like Intel's
own reference designs such as Zylonite, this reference design ships
as a full DVK including a working board with all schematics and BSP
source codes supplied. However, the Sandgate III is a compact, highly
integrated and professionally supported design intended to allow you
to get your own development underway at maximum speed. It is also an
ideal generic platform to get your application development started.
The standard Sandgate-III includes an integrated VGA touch-screen,
and a wide range of interfaces including Audio, SD/Memory Stick,
CF, SIM, IrDA, RS-232C, USB 2.0, USB 1.1, LAN, JTAG. New to the Sandgate-III
design are an integrated hard-disk drive, S-Video I/O and an on-board
WLAN module (802.11a/b/g), as well as the integration of NAND-Flash
made possible by the Monahans memory controller.
Monahans design tools: Intel
C++
Software Development Tool Suite 2.0 Professional
Direct Insight is pleased
to be able to supply Intel's own tools for PXA270 and Monahans which
leverage the extended instruction set capabilities of the Intel Personal
Client Architecture. The Intel toolsuite supports WMMX and WMMX 2 instruction
set extensions, and includes comprehensive optimisations and libraries
permitting greatly enhanced performance, optimised code-size and reduced
power consumption when using PXA devices.
The Intel compiler is also available as a plug-in for Platform Builder
or Visual Studio for WindowsCE .NET 5.0 users.
Monahans JTAG Emulator: Sophia
EJ-Debug
The
Sophia EJ-Debug range of JTAG emulators provide a cost-effective and
powerful debug interface for all PXA series processors including Monahans.
Comprehensive interfacing with debug tools including Platform Builder,
Intel XDB and GDB is available.
