Re: [ts-7000] Re: New TS-7800 500MHZ ARM9 SBC

[Ronald Gomes <>]

Hello Peter,

- The FPGA will be user-programmable through Linux utility just as the TS-7300 is. We are probably not going to provide the source code for the FPGA loads. We may provide a basic start-up TS-7800 HDL project though. The PC/104 connector signals are connected straight to the FPGA, so it can be whatever the FPGA is programmed for - PCI, ISA, DIO, Video... Jesse is better to answer about the FPGA default load than me, but I am guessing about 30-40% of the FPGA will be still available for user logic.

- The microSD can be used for any kind of storage data, just as the full-size SD slot. The microSD connector is more reliable/secure though, being a better option for high-vibration environments.

- The TS-7800 has an on-board AVR chip. Thus, it can be sent to sleep and be programmed to wake-up in the same way as the TS-BAT3. Consumption in sleep-mode is 200microAmps.

- Video can be added via the TS-7KV. The default FPGA load will have an ISA
 bus on the PC104 connector, therefore all our PC104 peripherals will be compatible with the TS-7800. Video can also be added on the FPGA, thus requiring a special/custom peripheral board for the physical interface.

Ronald.

Hi Ronald,

Very interedting... I think I'll have to get one to play with...

How much of the FPGA is left for the user once the system functions
are implemented? It would be nice to be able to program the FPGA
without loosing too much basic functionality of the board.

Looking at the position of the microSD card slot I assume this is for
embeddded data!

Does the 24V Option have any way of integrating a BAT3 type save
powerdown?

How would you add a SVGA (800x600) LCD display to this card? If I
could then I might be able to swap over to this board fairly easily.

Regards,

PJE

the fact it is backward compatible with our TS-72xx computers ? same
footprint. Also, it runs Kernel2.6 and Debian by default from the
512MB on-board flash. We believe the TS-7800 is going to be a good
and easy platform upgrade option for those demanding more
performance ? the TS-7800 is about 3 times faster compared to the TS-
72xx.
