Nye ARM-baserede Qseven moduler

Tyske MSC udvider firmaets familie af Qseven moduler med versioner, der inkluderer Texas Instruments Integra C6A8168 med ARM Cortex-A8 og DSP kerner (in english).

With the compact MSC Q7-TI8168 module the MSC Vertriebs GmbH expands its offering of ARM based embedded boards in compliance with the Qseven standard 1.20. The powerful platform integrates the Integra C6A8168 processor from Texas Instruments (TI) with an ARM® Cortex-A8 core with up to 3000 DMIPS and a digital signal processor (DSP). The 10 GMACS / 7,2 GFLPOS DSP @1.25 GHz C674x supports 32/64-bit single/double precision floating point.

The MSC Q7-TI8168 Qseven module is special designed for demanding image processing functions e.g. in industrial automation, medicine, transportation and security systems. :

- The DPS takes over the computing intensive image processing in real-time and unloads the ARM processor. Furthermore there is no need for the development of a specific software and its adaptation to the CPU core, says Wolfgang Eisenbarth, VP Marketing Embedded Computer Technology, MSC Vertriebs GmbH.

The integrated ARM Grafic Engine Neon supports video imaging, speech, audio codes and frameworks. TI offers with the optimized C6EZAccel and C6EZRun libraries a comprehensive software support for  numerous tasks e.g. digital filtering, complex mathematics calculations, image data processing and image analysis. C6EZRun executes the code porting, to run ARM code on the DSP. The C6EZAccel tool accelerates the signal processing tasks via extensive DSP optimized algorithms (APIs).

The MSC Q7-TI8168 embedded module offers one PCI Express channel, a Gbit Ethernet interface, single channel LVDS up to 1920 x 1080 pixels and an HDMI/DVI 1.3 interface. There are five USB 2.0 hosts and an USB 2.0 client, an I2C, an AC97 audio and an SPI interface available. User data can be stored over two SATA II channels. A memory card will be connected via SD/SDIO. The Qseven module integrates a 1 GB fast DDR3-1600 RAM and an NAND flash memory with a maximal capacity of 8 GB.

For fast development of embedded systems with the ARM based MSC Q7-TI8168 Qsevenmodule MSC offers the MSC Q7-MB-EP4 baseboard. The compact Qseven module is mounted via a proven MXM connection to the 148 x 102 mm compact baseboard, making it easy to thermally connect the Qseven™ heat spreader to a metal enclosure and provide fanless heat dissipation.

A couple a months ago, MSC presented its first ARM based Qseven embedded platform MSC Q7-NT2 integrating the NVIDIA Tegra 290 low-power processor with dual-core ARM Cortex A9.
