About EM-X270
|
|
|
The functional contents of EM-X270 are similar to
the latest
generation of Pocket PC's and smartphones, including all types of
wireless, satellite and cellular connectivity found in today's
state-off-the-art mobile devices. Yet, it is designed to serve custom
implementations, retaining the flexibility expected from an embedded
computer board.
|
|
|
The feature set of the
EM-X270 board combines a PXA270 CPU, SDRAM, Flash Disk, graphics
controller, touchscreen interface, audio codec with microphone and
speaker, SD/MMC socket, USB, serial port, GPIO's and a battery
management system. On-board
wireless interfaces include WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and a cellular
Voice/GPRS modem. The last interface enables the device to act
essentially as a customized cellular phone.
