™ Applied Data Systems Bitsy Embedded Platform Ideal for Developing Handheld Applications Versatility arrives in a small package With the introduction of the Bitsy, ADS brings developers a versatile platform to create powerful handheld or small form-factor OEM applications. Based on ® SA-1110 core and the SA-1111 companion chip, an Intel StrongARM the Bitsy has low-level drivers and stacks complete, designed as an application-ready platform to reduce your handheld product-to- market cycle from 12 months to a 2 - 3 month cycle. The StrongARM SA-1110 core is known for having rich power capability combined with low power consumption, and low heat generation. The power management option for embedded Linux further extends the life of battery-driven applications. The SA-1111 companion chip rounds out the comprehensive IO offering with USB Master and slave, as well as full support of the PCMCIA. Sociability through “personality” connector boards The Bitsy core hardware is scalable, providing maximum flexibility and versatility with a range of “personality” connector boards makes the 3 x 5" platform significantly expandable. Developers can increase the range of applications through Bitsy connector board options, making the product fully scaleable with virtually an unlimited number of IO options including Ethernet, compact flash, or Bluetooth. Versatility is further enhanced with a range of operating system options, which include WindowsCE, and embedded Linux. Robust Java Virtual Machine (JVM) suite options include Java, Blackdown, Hewlett Packard’s Chai, or OTI. The Linux options are ported from Open Source with standard GNU tools. Power management extends battery life This capability is significant for power savings with battery-operated systems and handheld devices. As a reference, ADS’ Bitsy single board computer system consumes an average 2W (2,000mW) of power in full operation, with a little less than half a Watt (495 mW) consumed by the StrongARM SA-1110 microprocessor. In contrast, the Bitsy uses less than 10 milli-watt in sleep mode. With sleep mode, in comparison to idle mode, all peripherals are powered off. Only the SDRAMs and the StrongARM (IOs and Real Time Clock) remain active in a minimum power mode. This state is initiated by a call to a sleep function by the application or by an inactivity timeout. All the device drivers are notified of transition to this state by a call to their respective power management functions. With sleep mode, the kernel stays resident in RAM and can “wake up” in a timely fashion without having to reload and uncompress the kernel from non-volatile memory. Significance for battery-operated systems This capability extends the life of battery-operated systems to several weeks, without requiring recharging. As Linux becomes more widespread in truly embedded systems, having power management with sleep mode has been an increasingly significant market need. ® Select the “personality” connector boards you need and meet your deadline One of the most robust and powerful small platforms available for OEM designs, the Bitsy with the optional connector boards allow you to choose exactly the technical structure you need, with an application-ready format that helps you complete your designs quicker.
