Introduction

Overview

UC-7420/7410 RISC-based Communication Platforms are ideal for embedded applications. UC-7420/7410 has eight RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, a PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN communication, and CompactFlash and USB port for mass storage flash disk expansion.

UC-7420/7410 uses an Intel XScale IXP-422 266 Mhz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a CISC design, the IXP-422’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide UC-7420/7410 with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but without generating a lot of heat. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 128 MB SDRAM give you enough memory to put your application software directly on UC-7420/7410. And since the dual LAN ports are built right into the IXP-422 CPU, UC-7420/7410 makes an ideal communication platform for Network Security applications. If your application requires placing UC-7420/7410 in a location that is not located near an Ethernet LAN connection, you can use UC-7420/7410’s PCMCIA port to attach a wireless LAN card.

The pre-installed Linux operating system provides an open software operating system for your software program development. Software written for desktop PCs can be easily ported to the UC-7420/7410 platform with a GNU cross compiler, without needing to modify the source code. All of the necessary device drivers, such as a PCMCIA Wireless LAN module and Keypad, LCM, and Buzzer control, are also included with UC-7420/7410. The Operating System, device drivers, and the software you develop for your own application, can all be stored in UC-7420/7410’s Flash memory.
