SOM Description

PHYTEC insert-ready, OEMable modules support the engineer in every stage of embedded design: from evaluation, through development and prototyping, to OEM deployment. PHYTEC production-ready modules are designed to be plugged onto customer application target boards. Implementation of the phyCORE-PXA270 SOM subassembly as the "core" of an embedded design allows developers to focus on target circuitry and firmware development.

The phyCORE-PXA270 module is based on XScale technology, which delivers advanced peripheral integration, high-performance multimedia acceleration and superior power savings. The on-chip MMU supports major operating systems, including Linux and Windows Embedded CE. The phyCORE-PXA270 is an ideal solution for space-sensitive, low-power applications.

The standard phyCORE-PXA270 ships with a pre-programmed Linux or Windows Embedded CE 6.0 image. Source and Binary Board Support Packages (BSPs) are also available.

RTOSes & Tools

The availability of Board Support software and tools is a primary criterion in the selection of a microcontroller for embedded development. PHYTEC works closely with our partners up and down the embedded solutions chain to ensure optimized interoperability of our boards with other tools, and provides embedded developers with what they need to speed design concepts to product and market.
