Hectronic offers a couple of ARM modules which combine compact size with support for Linux operative system. Helix, the development tool for Linux supports the ARM modules and assists in building and maintaining the embedded Linux system.
Typical markets for the modules are:
• Industrial control
• Sensor systems
• Test and measurement
• Security
• Automotive mobile communication
• M2M communication
Targeted applications for the Hectronic H6043 ARM9 module are mobile or stand-alone devices for which compact physical dimensions are crucial. USB or network connection can be used for data transfer and simultaneous charging of the battery.
The key to the possibilities that Hectronic H6042 offers is using an FPGA in combination with an ARM9 processor. Powerful and customer specific functionality can be implemented in a compact product. Applications requiring multiple task performance where each parallel task involves extensive real-time processing are suited for H6042, as well as applications that benefit from customer specific and extensive input/output.
