SBC Module 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 SBC 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.

Processor Details

The phyCORE-XScale/PXA270 supports the Marvell PXA270 controller.

RTOSes & Tools

The availability of tools is a primary criteria in the selection of a microcontroller for embedded development. Just as PHYTEC provides board-level support and Rapid Development Kits enabling easy evaluation, test and OEM integration of microcontroller cores for embedded designs, we also work closely with other partners up and down the embedded solutions chain. This ensures optimized interoperability of our boards with other tools, and provides embedded developers with what they need to speed design concepts to product and market.
