taskit Portux920T

Note: For new developments, we recommend to use the 400 MHz SBC PortuxG20.

CPU modules building on the ARM architecture stand out for their good performance with minimal power consumption. They are therefore particularly well-suited for embedded use.

Based on the Atmel® AT91RM9200 controller, taskit has developed a SBC to satisfy the most challenging requirements. Highlights are its powerful 180 MHz ARM920T core and a wide varity of integrated peripherals, such as USB 2.0, Ethernet and four USART. The Linux open-source operating system offers developers a proven, cost-efficient platform. Plus: with taskit at your side, you have a trusted partner for support and service during every development stage.

The open Linux operating system and function-rich "U-Boot" boot loader are already installed. With its journaling Flash file system and myriad network services, you can put your Portux920T to use immediately. You can develop custom applications either on a Linux-based development PC or on a Windows host using Cygwin. We give you an already-compiled tool chain, saving time and integration costs.

The base board comes with 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet and two serial interfaces. With 64 MB SDRAM, integrated 16 MB Flash and an SD/MMC card slot, Portux920T offers enough room for demanding, memory-intensive applications. Aditional peripherals can be connected using the Portux Extension Bus (PXB). This bus offers a 96-pin connector, which can be assembled either angled or (Eurocard version) or in-line (sandwich version). It enables an easy extension with own customized developments or an Add-On card from taskit.

At 100 x 71 mm, the card format represents a half Eurocard and can be built into 19-inch racks. Upon request, Portux can be equipped with a compatible front plate (2x DSUB, 1x RJ45). With an extension board of the same size, the format corresponds to a full Eurocard, enabling installation in standard housings. The straight pin-row facilitates sandwich architecture. With its integrated power supply, the Portux920T board can, of course, also be used as a single-board computer.

Embedded systems demand long-term availability. To reduce the risk of discontinuations, taskit uses exclusively standard components. And in the event that the unthinkable occurs, the Portux920T modular concept ensures that minimal effort would be required to adapt a new CPU card. The Linux software interface and PXB hardware interface remain stable.
