eCOUNT embedded’s ES-1XXX is the company’s first Computer-on-Module family to support the SMARC 2.0 standard from the SGET.
The modules are equipped with ARM Cortex-A9 based Intel Cyclone V SoCs (formerly Altera), which integrate a configurable FPGA. By integrating the Intel Cyclone V SoCs on SMARC Computer-on-Modules customers benefit from an application-ready ultra-low-power platform for extremely cost-efficient custom IIoT designs. Compared to full-custom designs, the development and certification effort is significantly reduced by up to 50 to 90 percent thanks to the provision of complete BSPs, carrier boards, accessories and FPGA IP as well as comprehensive documentation. Thanks to the configurable FPGA, the SMARC modules can be used in very different configurations. Core FPGA IP, for example for standard industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet and EtherCAT, is available off-the-shelf. Many other possible configurations are available including as I/O controllers, big data loggers for data acquisition, network controllers or extremely energy-efficient HMIs with solar power supply as well as generic configurations.
The ES-1XXX modules operate in the extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C and offer a life cycle of at least 10 years. They are available in dual and single-core Intel Cyclone V SoC configurations (SE and SX) with up to 110KLE and 925 MHz and up to 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. [via]
