Emcraft Systems, a leading provider of Linux solutions for microcontrollers, is pleased to announce immediate availability of a system-on-module (SOM) based on the Freescale Kinetis K70 MCU.
This SOM incorporates a 150 MHz Kinetis K70 MCU from Freescale Semiconductor, as well as 64 MBytes of LPDRAM, 128 MBytes of NAND Flash, and an Ethernet PHY. It is small in size (50x37 mm) and comes pre-loaded with U-Boot and uClinux.
The K70 SOM is specifically designed to make it easy, quick, and cost-effective for embedded system designers to start using the Kinetis K70 device and uClinux software in their applications.
“I’m excited to see uClinux running on Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 based microcontrollers,” said Kent Meyer, cofounder and Managing Director at Emcraft Systems, LLC. “Many embedded system developers recognize the cost- and time-to-market benefits of using embedded Linux. With our system-on-modules product line, we extend those benefits into the hardware design domain. System-on-modules take away the complexity of designing a core embedded system, allowing hardware designers to focus on the specific requirements of their application.”
The Linux BSP and software development environment that are bundled with the K70 SOM are provided in full source code and royalty-free.
The K70 System-on-Module is priced at $49 in 500-unit quantities. Further information on this module can be found at http://www.emcraft.com/freescale-kinetis-k70-som.
