FireWire to IDE bridge chip supports RAID
Firmware enhancements to the popular OXFW911 FireWire to IDE bridge chip enable the development of simple, low cost RAID storage products for personal and small business application.
Integrated solution for high-speed data streaming
Combining an 800Mbit/s 1394B link layer and PHY controller with a 480Mbit/s USB2.0 PHY, the OXUF922 programmable bridge chip provides a fully integrated solution for high-speed data streaming.
Including GNU C++ compiler and development software, source code and manuals, the kit enables users to write custom software on the OXUF922's embedded ARM7 microcontroller.
The development kit is priced at $399.
In non-storage applications, the OXUF922's IDE controller can be configured as a high performance DMA interface, and an integrated 12Mbit/s UART provides an additional direct datacommunication interface.
Four general purpose I/O and programmable LED indicators are included on the development board along with level triggered interrupt and reset inputs.
Equipped with a full expansion connector, the development board gives application specific daughter boards full access to the ARM7 microcontroller bus, GPIOs and interrupts.
A 12V PSU is provided which the board converts to 5V in order to power a connected ATA device.
A complete set of cables is also included in the development kit, comprising an IDE ribbon cable for connecting a hard disk or CD drive, a serial cable for diagnostics and debug, IEEE1394, USB 2.0 and RS232 cables and power cable adapter.
