Pico Computing Releases Embedded M-Series Module

September 28, 2011

Seattle, WA – September 27, 2011 – Pico Computing today announces the release of a new M-Series Module, the M-504. An adaptation of the M-503, this new module addresses the ever-increasing demands for memory and I/O bandwidth in embedded systems. With the inclusion of 128MB NOR FLASH, the Virtex-6 FPGA can now be configured independently of a host system. This enables the M-504 to be a stand-alone module for embedded applications such as medical imaging, signal processing, machine vision, and robotics.

The M-504 features a Xilinx Virtex-6 LX240T FPGA with two independent banks of … Read More → "Pico Computing Releases Embedded M-Series Module"
