™ Applied Data Systems Bitsy Plus Embedded Platform Ideal for Developing Handheld Applications Versatility arrives in a small package With the introduction of the Bitsy Plus, ADS brings developers a versatile platform to create powerful handheld or small form-factor OEM applications. Based on an ® Intel StrongARM SA-1110 core and the SA-1111 companion chip, the Bitsy Plus 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 options further extend the life of battery-driven applications. The SA-1111 companion chip rounds out the comprehensive IO offering with USB host and client, as well as full support of the PCMCIA Client. Sociability through “personality” connector boards The Bitsy Plus core hardware is scalable, providing maximum flexibility and versatility with a range of “personality” connector boards making the 3 x 5" platform significantly expandable. Developers can increase the range of applications through Bitsy Plus connector board options, making the product fully scalable 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, CE.NET 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 Plus single board computer system consumes less than 1.5W (1,500 mW) of power in full operation, with a little less than half a Watt (400 mW) consumed by the StrongARM coprocessor. In contrast, the Bitsy Plus uses less than 25 mW in sleep mode. With sleep mode, in comparison to idle mode, all peripherals are powered off. Only the SDRAMs and the StrongARM (IOs, Real Time Clock and touch screen) 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. Battery-operated wireless systems This capability extends the life of battery-operated systems to several weeks, without requiring recharging. Having power management with sleep mode has been an increasingly significant market need and further enhances the products versatility in wireless applications. 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 Plus with the optional connector boards allows you to choose exactly the technical structure you need with connector board schematics and drivers.
