Introduction
The ThinkCore W315/W325/W345 series of wireless RISC-based embedded computers feature a GSM/GPRS module, RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and an Ethernet port in a small, rugged chassis. In addition, the W325 and W345 models come with an SD slot, and the W345 also has two USB 2.0 hosts and one relay output channel.
The W300 series embedded computers are ideal for diverse, machine-to-machine embedded applications. The computers enable the wireless operation of traditionally wired network and serial devices, and can handle transparent data transfer, numeric computing, protocol conversion, data processing, and even data encryption. You will find it easier to build embedded systems for distributed peer-to-peer communication, turn wired devices into wireless devices, and introduce higher mobility and more intelligence to your system. In this chapter, we cover the various capabilities of the W300 series embedded computers.
In this chapter, we cover the following topics:
