Production quality Triton-270/StarterKit-3 BSP for Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 coincides with the launch of the new OS on 1st November 2006
For development purposes, the Triton-320 plugs into the StarterKit-4 baseboard via its DIMM200 connector.
This combination, with optional touch-screen display is supplied as a complete development kit running Linux or Windows CE 6.0.
The Linux BSP ships with a complete GCC toolchain, allowing users to modify the BSP as required.
Windows CE source code is also available.
In production, the module is plugged directly into a simple custom baseboard to complete the final product, and the production-quality BSP is modified to correspond to the interfaces in use, creating an application-ready platform.
The StarterKit-4 includes connectors for the I/O facilities offered by the PXA320 processor and Triton-320, including a CompactFlash type II socket, SD/MMC card socket, 3 x RS232 connectors, USB-device and USB-Host connectors, and a D-SUB15 VGA connector for the video DAC.
In addition, there is a DM9000 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, a UCB1400 audio codec and touchscreen controller with two 3.5mm audio connectors.
The onboard power supply has an 6 - 24V input range and both 3.3 and 5V are available onboard.
Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner Direct Insight provides the Triton-320 modules to European customers with a range of complementary tools and services including JTAG probes, software tools from Marvell and Microsoft, support, training and design services.
