Sophia - Sandgate III Monahans / PXA320 Reference Platform

Sophia Systems' Sandgate 3 Reference Design supports Marvell's (formerly Intel's) new PXA320 (codenamed Monahans) applications processor, based on third generation Intel XScale architecture. The kit includes a full-featured development board, with touch screen VGA display, as well as full schematics and BSP source code, enabling you to develop the software at the same time as the hardware, greatly reducing your overall system development time. With the PXA320 processor installed, the Sandgate 3 reference design includes all the peripherals necessary for the development of handheld devices and provides an excellent design base for your actual system.
