Partners

“Focus on what you are good at” is a message we give our customers all the time.  When designing embedded products, starting with a processor module lets you do just that.  We try to do the same in our business, and partner with other companies so that we can focus on designing and manufacturing the best modules.

We recently added a Partners page to our web site that highlights the companies we are working with.  Some have been visible on our web site before, like GuruCE and Trygtech who provide Operating System ports. 

A new section is our System Integrators.  These are companies who have experience in designing with our modules and provide turn-key product development. If you are looking for help with your new project, get in touch directly or contact us for an introduction.

Opal Videos

We have created a couple of videos demonstrating specific features on the Opal Development Kit.  They cover the display options, and the USB/Serial debug interface we have on the kit.

There are some more videos in the works which will be online in January.  If there is anything specific you want us to highlight in future videos, let us know!

Using Digital I/O on the Opal i.M53 Development Kit

The Opal Development Kit has several I/O features to make prototyping applications easy.  These include: 4 x protected digital inputs,  4 x 5V digital outputs, 2 push-buttons and 2 LEDs.  

This video shows how easy it is to get developing with these features.

The source code for the Windows Embedded Compact 7 demo application is available here.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 on Topaz

GuruCE has released a new BSP which includes support for Windows Embedded Compact 7 on Topaz.

The release also includes an update to the Windows CE 6.0 R3 BSP and the Topaz Flasher application.

You can download a binary image and a binary BSP for free, with the source code available when you purchase support.

GuruCE has done a lot of work on the BSP and it now includes enhanced support for many of the devices on the i.MX25, including a comprehensive GPIO driver.  For a small fee there are also a suite of managed wrappers making it very easy to access hardware from your Compact Framework application.

FlexCAN on the Opal i.MX53 Development Kit

The Opal Development Kit makes it easy to interface to devices on a CAN bus.  It has CAN transceivers on-board, and push-wire connectors so you can get developing fast. 

This video has more details, along with a Windows Embedded Compact 7 demo.  The demo source code is available here.
