Artila Releases Linux-ready ARM9 CAN Bus Box Computer
Tiny but mighty ARM9 Embedded Computer with CAN Bus Interface.
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Artila Electronics, the leading designer and manufacturer of Linux-ready ARM9 industrial PC, is proud to release Matrix-522 Industrial Linux-ready ARM9 CAN Bus Box Computer, the new design of its ARM9 box computer selection. Its CAN Bus interface supports CANopen protocols for target markets such as industrial automation, transportation, vehicles, and building automation.
Matrix-522, the new design of Linux-ready ARM9 industrial box computer, is powered by an ATMEL AT91SAM9G20 400MHz ARM9 CPU, and also equipped with 64MB SDRAM and 128MB NAND Flash memory. In addition, the Matrix-522 integrates two isolated CAN interface, two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and two RS-232/422/485 serial ports. The Matrix-522 is also equipped with two USB hosts, twenty one GPIOs, and one SD socket inside the compact metal box. The DIN-Rail and wall-mounting capability also makes Matrix-522's onsite installation flexible.
Matrix-522 is pre-installed with Linux 2.6.29 OS and busybox utility collection. The Linux 2.6.29 includes SocketCAN, the open source CAN driver and network stack which uses network model on the CAN interface to allow multiple applications to access one CAN device simultaneously. In addition, the CANopen library and CANFestival is available in the Artila CD to relax user programming in CANopen application. The UBI file system is employed to provide improved performance and longer lifetime for NAND Flash compared to JFFS2. Artila continuously increases and updates the software package to its ftp site for the users to download for free to install the software package they need from the internet.
Useful software utilities are also provided for easy management and development of the Matrix-522, including webmin, and the GNU tool chain, which includes a C/C++ cross compiler and Glibc.
