In addition to the broad range of user-defined parameters, the AppliPak is available in standard or ruggedised versions.
"An AppliPak solution shaved weeks off our development time, simply by having device drivers that worked when we received the boards", said James Westwell, Software Project Engineer at Kollmorgen.
"The ability to add ruggedisation as part of the solution has the added benefit of significant time savings for our process".
The standard AppliPak version bundles a single board computer from Motorola Computer Group or Concurrent Technologies with VxWorks or Linux; boot file and drivers; choice of mass storage devices; and other options such as transition modules or breakout boards (BoBs), Ethernet and built-in self test with a web-based GUI interface.
Motorola-based AppliPaks are available for MVME51xx, MVME5500, and the new MVME6100.
Pentium-based AppliPaks are shipping with Intel Pentium III low power and Intel Pentium M processors.
The Rugged AppliPak includes the same options, but adds extended operating temperature range, conformal coating, and/or parts lifecycle management, as required by the customer.
Each AppliPak SBC solution is fully tested before shipment.
The AppliPak is available now; pricing varies according to SBC and component selection.
