Overview

The Electrum 200 is a single board computer designed for control applications that require high performance, networking and reliable multitasking capabilities. Powered by an Atmel AT91SAM9260 ARM926EJ-S core capable of over 200 MIPS, it can fulfill the most demanding requirements in monitoring, instrumentation, data acquisition, process control, factory automation and many other applications. An extensive array of peripherals is built-in plus expandability is available using PC/104 I/O cards. Several peripherals can be reconfigured with the programmable logic capabilities of the integrated CPLD.

An Analog I/O option is available that includes an eight channel 12-bit ADC, a four channel 12-bit DAC and their header connectors. This option is recommended for applications using sensors or actuators with analog interfaces.

Software

Linux on the Electrum 200 provides a stable and reliable operating system base that can be easily extended using readily available libraries and applications. Linux is loaded from NAND Flash, simplifying software development and distribution. Secure remote access can be implemented via web or command line interfaces, providing off-site monitoring and maintenance capabilities. Many popular Linux applications are available or can be easily ported using the GNU compiler collection as well as popular IDEs
including Eclipse and Code::Blocks.

Ports of popular Basic, LUA and Python development tools are available for the Electrum 200 to reduce application development time and simplify integration with code libraries developed for industrial and scientific environments. Using these tools, you can achieve significant functionality in a very short time. These open source tools can be easily extended, allowing a virtually unlimited number of possibilities.
