Artila Releases Linux-based ARM9 Ready-to-Go System on Module

TAIPEI, Taiwan – 9 December, 2010 — Artila Electronics, the leading designer and manufacturer of Linux-ready ARM9 industrial PC, is proud to announce the launch of M-502, an ARM9 Linux-based System on Module (SoM).  

M-502 ARM9 Linux-based System on Module (SoM) is the new generation of Artila’s SoM product selection. M-502 is powered by 400MHZ ARM926EJ-S ARM Thumb Processor with memory management unit, and equipped with 64MB SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash, and 2MB DATAFlash. M-502 is also pre-installed with Linux 2.6.29 OS, busybox utility collection, lighttpd Web server, and various hardware device drivers. M-502 also provides flexibilities in peripheral expansion by integrating one 10/100Mbps Ethernet, two USB 2.0 hosts, four UARTs with hardware/software flow control, and 32 programmable digital I/Os. In addition, M-502 comes with Secure Data Card (SD) interface, Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Inter-IC(I2C) bus, Inter-IC Sound (I2S) bus, and 8-bit local bus. The GNU C/C++ cross compiler is included in the development kit, allowing users to develop their application software in PC without the need to learn and purchase extra commercial developing tool. 

Artila M-502 Linux-based ARM9 System on Module combines powerful computing capabilities, large memory space, and high scalability, making it easy for users to develop their application without compromising the system performance. Flexible and reliable design leaves users worry-free when focusing on their application software development, reducing 80% of the development time and cost normally required.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

GaN for Humanoid Robots
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
