About us

The Portux920T Mini-PC is now also available with an integrated analog or ISDN modem. Both modem cards enable a straight-forward connection via telephone to the Internet or directly to another computer. Both modems use a serial interface to connect with the operating system (Linux or FreeBSD) and can be addressed using simple AT commands. If you need TCP/IP, either analog or ISDN, you can use the PPP demon for both configurations. By configuring the PPP driver, you can easily dial into the Internet just as on a traditional PC.

It has been done. The testing version of kernel 2.6.22 has been released. Highlights are:

• DMA-driven serial drivers
• Generic SD/MMC card driver, supports SD-cards up to 4 GB
• Powermanagement
• Dallas 1W bus driver
• and more ...

You find the new sources ready for download in our support area. Eventually this version will get the release version after a testing phase. You will receive an extra note on that. Until then our products will be delivered with the current versions on flash.

The latest innovation from taskit is called Stamp, and it will be available soon. This CPU-Module is based on the technology that drives taskit's powerful Panel-Card. In contrast to the Panel-Card, Stamp makes do without a TFT display and exponentially reduces the card size.

An AT91SAM9261 controller, 64 MB SDRAM and 64 MB Flash are integrated into an area of just 53 x 38 mm. The Atmel controller boasts a powerful 200+ MHz ARM926EJ-S processor core and supports a wide variety of interfaces. Two 100-pin Hirose FX8 connectors facilitate signal transmission to peripherals.

You don't always need an industrial-strength computer. Often the main task at hand is just the display of data, which makes complex input and output units superfluous. That's where terminals from taskit come into play: the LCD-Terminal enables output to an LCD screen and input (optionally) via 6 keys or a matrix keyboard. The MoTerm edition comes built into a robust housing with a 21-key foil keyboard.

The LCD-Display measures 128x64 pixels and can display 8x21 characters in text mode. The 8051-compatible processor core cannot be extensively programmed, but is adequate for simple data logging. Each model has a serial interface by which the terminal can be controlled with standard ANSI-sequenzes and 300-115200 Baud; the low Baud-rate capability enables usage with microcomputers as well.

These terminals serve as valuable helpers wherever status messages from servers and industrial computers need to be monitored, simple or no input is necessary, and the full functionality of an industrial computer is unnecessary.

Our products are distinguished, for one, by their flexible expansion capabilities. Do you need to expand your device with a new module? Do you want to change the housing, display or interfaces? We can guide you from idea to prototype to batch production with our long-standing experience - all with a good price-performance ratio.

Using ARM processors in embedded systems brings many advantages. The 32-bit microprocessors stand out with their high performance and minimal energy consumption. ARM processors are thus particularly well-suited for mobile devices.

ARM technology and the Linux open-source operating system make a strong team, complementing each other perfectly. Free access to the Linux source code enables adaptation of drivers and applications, either by you or by the taskit development team.

To support you in developing your own Linux applications, we supply you with a software CD containing Linux, U-Boot and GNU-Tools. The taskit integrated development environment (tide) is even more convenient. This cross-platform environment enables working with Windows and Linux.

For an overview you can download our Linux ARM product flyer, including photos and technical details.

The main part of the SAMDIP-7X is the AT91SAM7X microcontroller made by Atmel, which is based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. It's clock rate can be set up to 50 MHz, when using USB it's set to 48 MHz. The power consumption is kept at a low level: according to the manufacturer, the ARM7TDMI is leader in MIPS/Watt (performance/consumption ratio). The placement of Flash (256 KB) and SRAM (64 KB) memory on chip helps saving power as well and speeds up execution. An integrated DMA controller saves processor resources during communication with peripherals.

There is a wide range of possibilities for peripheral connection and the most common ones are included: one Ethernet, one USB and three serial interfaces. Their placement on the DIP-module (25.4 x 81.3 mm) submits various application possibilities as well as the integration into an existing system. Many measurement, control and regulating procedures are suited for that purpose; it's low consumption makes the SAMDIP-7X interesting for battery powered applications.

The Starter kit SAMDIP-7X provides a comfortable environment for application development. A test board contains Ethernet, USB and RS-232 ports, which allow communication with peripherals and a large pin grid for building own circuits. These can be tested by using LEDs and switches. A debug version of the SAMDIP-7X contains a JTAG interface.

The Panel-Card is a universally applicable CPU module for measurement and controll applications. Compared to other CPU modules the Panel-Card is distinguished by a 3.5" color TFT. The display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a color depth of 24- bits. To hold the unit compact the circuit board is matched to the TFT (9 cm diagonal). All components are controlled by a 200+ MHz ARM 926EJ-S processor core from Atmel. 64 MB SDRAM and 64 MB Flash memory are available for storage applications. The Panel-Card supports a multiplicity of interfaces: i.a. USART, USB 2.0 (host and device), SD/MMC card and Ethernet. Beside the bootloader programme "U-Boot" the free operating system Linux 2.6.x is preloaded so that the user can profit from a strong software support.

Starter kit Panel-Card:
For the readiness for operation we advise the Starter kit Panel-Card from taskit. The following items are part of the Starterkit: the Panel-Card with the 3.5? TFT, the evaluation board, a power pack and cables. The software CD includes Linux, the compiled Linux toolchain, and the Nano-X Window graphics library.

The MoLUX is an universally applicable handheld computer with a 3.5" color TFT. A 3x7 key foil keyboard is available for the data input and pictures are displayed on the TFT with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a color depth of 24-bits. Because of the ergonomic design, the apparatus is easy to hold and can be operated conveniently. A powerful 200+ MHz ARM 926EJ-S processor core controls all components. 64 MB SDRAM, 64MB flash memory and a SD/MMC card slot provide enough space for memory intensive applications. For the connection with the Docking-Station, which is optionally available, a 6pin interface is located on the flipside of the Handheld. The Docking-Station is necessary for charging the lithium ion battery and for data exchange via an integrated USB device interface. Linux 2.6.x is preinstalled together with the bootloader "U-Boot". Thus, the user can profit from a multiplicity of freely available programmes and tools.
