If you wish RTL8188CU embedded in the device you should purchase OLinuXino-MINI-WIFI. Choosing the embedded WIFI option will leave your USB-HOSTs available for use. 1.2 Target market and purpose of the board The boards from the OLinuXino family are ready to use, easy to setup and are suitable for embedded programming enthusiasts, Linux hobbyists, gadget fans and also professionals (since its low cost makes it very good solution for application orientated embedded systems). The main usage of the board is software embedded development without the urge of understanding perfectly the hardware. Page 6 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual The strong points of the boards are the processor speed, the mobility of the board and the low price. Customers have full access to the technical documentation of the board. The software is released under General Purpose License and the board is considered open-hardware. 1.3 Organization Each section in this document covers a separate topic, organized as follow: – Chapter 1 is an overview of the board usage and features – Chapter 2 provides a guide for quickly setting up the board – Chapter 3 contains the general board diagram and layout – Chapter 4 describes the component that is the heart of the board: the iMX233 microcontroller – Chapter 5 is an explanation of the control circuitry associated with the microcontroller to reset. Also shows the clocks on the board – Chapter 6 covers the connector pinout, peripherals and jumper description – Chapter 7 shows the memory map – Chapter 8 provides the schematics – Chapter 9 contains the revision history, useful links and support information Page 7 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual CHAPTER 2 SETTING UP THE OLINUXINO BOARD 2. Introduction to the chapter This section helps you set up the OLinuXino development board for the first time. Please consider first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the hardware and software required to operate the board. The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior is detailed. 2.1 Electrostatic warning OLinuXino is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must not be exposed to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element. 2.3 Requirements In order to set up the OLinuXino optimally, the following items are required: - 6V to 16V source of power with 1A maximum amperage. - SJTAG interface programmer - USB keyboard - Monitor with composite interface or Personal Computer + USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F - SD card with Linux image Note that the board arrives without SD card or Linux image. You can purchase a card with Linux separately. It is recommended that the user has basic Linux experience. Some of the suggested items can be purchased by Olimex, for instance: iMX233-OLinuXino-SD - SD card with the Linux image USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F - USB serial console cable female (check “6.1.1 UART Debug” for info how to connect it to the board) SY0612E - power supply adapter 12V/0.5A for iMX233-OLinuXino-MINI 2.4 Powering the board The board is powered either via the PWR jack or via a battery. It should be supplied from a 6V to 16V source with maximum current of 1A from the power jack. Page 8 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual All measures below are taken at 10V. If measuring the current consumption it should be around 0.06A before initializing all the peripherals. The consumption raises to 0.12A without WIFI and USB hosts initialized and Linux running. The consumption goes up 0.15A with the Linux running when WIFI and both USB hosts initialized. If you have a standard USB flash drive attached to a USB host, Linux and WIFI running the typical consumption is around 0.20A. When powered by the typical 3.7V battery the WIFI and USB-hosts will be disabled if you use external 3.3 DC-DC (not mounted by default). For the European customers we sell a power supply adapter 12V/0.5A - SY0612E. 2.5 Prebuilt software Note that the boards arrive without Linux or SD card. The Linux image can be purchased separately on a SD card or you can built and write it yourself. When we program the boards we change the default position of the following HW_OCOTP_ROM0 fuses of the processor: SD_MBR_BOOT(3) - Blown SD_POWER_GATE_GPIO(21:20) – 10-PWM3 For burning the fuse position we use the BitBurner software. This operation is discussed in details before. Proceed with great caution when burning fuses since it is irreversible operation. Page 9 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual 2.6 Using BitBurner IMPORTANT! MODIFYING THE FUSES IS IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS! BURNING THE WRONG FUSES MIGHT DAMAGE OLINUXINO IRREVERSIBLY! BURNING WRONG FUSES MIGHT CAUSE BOOT PROBLEMS! BURN FUSES AT OWN RISK! The bit burning is done via the USB of the computer connected to the OLINUXINO board and the BitBurner software. To be able to burn the fuses you will need to make a custom cable that connects a USB with the 3 pin holes found at the bottom of the board named “GND”, “DP”, “DM” (check the picture below for a better view how the three wires must be connected. After soldering the three wires you can place a marker on each of them or use colored wires to be able to distinguish them. You can also use some gel to keep them tight on the USB connector. On the opposite side of the cables you might place 50mil (1.27mm) male connector following the order of the signals. Please also restrain from using wires longer than 20 cm since that might make the connection unreliable. Download BitBurner from https://www.olimex.com/dev/OLINUXINO/iMX233- OLINUXINO/BitBurner.v1.0.4.6.zip. Extract it and start the .exe. If you connect everything you should see and choose HID-compilant device from the “Select device” drop-down menu. If you check the fuses we have already burned the application should show an image as the one on the next Page 10 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual page. 2.7 Building the Linux image Note that building the Linux image from scratch is a time-consuming task. Even with powerful machine and fast internet connection it might take few hours compiling. Some Linux distributions might lack the tools required to compile/build/execute scripts/download from repository – how to get those is not discussed below. The Linux image is created and downloaded from https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp- platform. For the test here we used Debian 6.0 with GNOME visual libraries. The steps we did: 1) From the terminal created folder “bin” in home folder: user@dist$: mkdir bin user@dist$: cd bin Add bin directory to PATH in order to do the next steps easier. Else navigate to the right folders. 2) Installed `repo` utility needed for the bitbake file fetching from the repository: Page 11 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual user@dist$: curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo user@dist$: chmod a+x ~/bin/repo 3) Created directory for the project and download the BSP source from the git repository: user@dist$: mkdir fsl-community-bsp user@dist$: cd fsl-community-bsp ~/fsl-community-bsp$: repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b denzil ~/fsl-community-bsp$: repo sync 4) You can change the settings for the build if you want at fsl-community-bsp/build/conf/local.conf. I changed the “machine” name to “imx233-olinuxino-maxi”. For Linux kernel configurations and settings you can do (of course you can use also the default settings): ~/fsl-community-bsp$:. ./setup-environment build ~/fsl-community-bsp/build$:bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig Check the image below: 5) Now to start building the image: Page 12 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual ~fsl-community-bsp$:. ./setup-environment build ~fsl-community-bsp/build $: bitbake core-image-minimal Note: on different Linux distributions you might have different tools installed and you will probably need to install dependencies needed for the compile/build scripts. Here are some (but not all) of the mandatory ones: G++; diffstat; texi2html; chrpath; gawk; texinfo; some git client. To ensure you have the latest version supported with all the updates visit https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO and https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp- platform. 2.8 How to blink the LED In this chapter you will find a way to achieve the most basic task in electronics – the “Hello World” of electronics - blinking the LED. First we set the pin responsible for the LED as an output and we can set its value manually to high or low position – make it blink manually. The LED mounted on the board uses GPIO65. You can use external diode instead of the one mounted - you have to look at the table “The Linux implementation of pins” in the hardware section to get the correct linux name for the GPIO pin. echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value If you want to set the blink off you should change the value on the second line to: echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value To show the info for all GPIOs: ls /sys/class/gpio To make it turn on – turn off automatically (e.g. blink) we use the text redactor VI to write the Linux script: echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/direction while true do echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value sleep 1 echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value sleep 1 Page 13 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual done We save it as as “gpio” and we make it executable with chmod +x gpio then we execut the script with: ./gpio The LED should start blinking with 0.5Hz. 2.9 How setup the I2C, SPI, UART There are number of examples with our extension module board to achieve those connections on the UEXT. The examples might be used as an example for I2C, SPI or UART communication. You can find them at our GitHub page: https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/tree/master/SOFTWARE/iMX233 Page 14 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual CHAPTER 3 OLINUXINO BOARD DESCRIPTION 3.

The RESET is specific for the fact that it is accomplished when the quartz is disconnected using 3.3V and the transistors T1 and T2. 5.2 Clocks 24 MHz quartz crystal Q1 is connected to pins 121 and 122 of the iMX233 processor. 12 MHz quartz crystal Q2 is found at pins 6 and 7 of the LAN and WIFI controller – GL850G. Page 19 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual 5.3 Power supply circuit The power supply circuit of OLinuXino-MINI allows flexible input supply from 6V to 16V direct current. This means a wide range of power supplies, adapters, converters are applicable. The maximum amperage the board can draw is 1A. The board with the prebuilt software and SD card equipped consumes between 0.12A and 0.16A while booting the Linux image. When no other peripherals are connected the board (except the SD card) the typical consumption is 0.12A. With one flash memory stick the consumption raises to 0.16A. When powered by the typical 3.7V battery the USB-hosts are disabled. The consumption when Linux is running is around 0.75A. The board can be powered either from the power jack or from the LIPO_BAT connector. Note that since standard batteries can't provide the voltage needed for the board it is advisable to use the power from the power jack. When you use the LIPO_BAT connector and a battery the chip handling the Ethernet and the USB hosts is disabled. Also the power button has alternative function when the board is powered by a battery – check 6.12. If you have successfully powered the board the red PWR LED will turn on. Note that it is possible to have the PWR LED on even if there isn't enough power for proper operation of the board and all the peripherals currently connected. Page 20 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual Note that the whole 3.3V part is not mounted (elements marked as NA) by default because we use the internal 3.3V DC-DC convertor in the iMX233. However, the internal DC-DC in the processor is not very reliable when a lot of current is required. It is better to mount the elements of the 3.3V part circuit if you wish to use 3.3V at heavier loads. Page 21 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual CHAPTER 6 CONNECTORS AND PINOUT 6. Introduction to the chapter In this chapter are presented the connectors that can be found on the board all together with their pinout and notes about them. Jumpers functions are described. Notes and info on specific peripherals are presented. Notes regarding the interfaces are given. 6.1 Debugging interfaces If you don't have a separate monitor or display around, and you don't wish to swap cables constantly with your personal computer using the debug interfaces provide better option for you OLinuXino experience. There are three debugging options available on the OLinuXino. It is preferable to use one of the first two - UART or SJTAG but in case you want to use the classic 6-wire parallel JTAG there is an option explained below. Page 22 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual 6.1.1 UART debug The first one is a debug UART interface – U_DEBUG. You can use our USB-SERIAL-CABLE for debugging via the UART. Note on how to use the U_DEBUG with USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F which has RED GREEN BLUE wires GND=BLUE, RX(INPUT)=GREEN, TX(OUTPUT)=RED. You have to connect to OLinuXino-MAXI U_DEBUG connector in this sequence: BLUE wire to pin.3 (GND) GREEN wire to pin.2 (TX) RED wire to pin.1 (RX) The baud rate for serial communication is 115 200. U_DEBUG Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 PWM0/DUART_RXD 125 2 PWM1/DUART_TXD 126 3 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 4 DEBUG 84 You can also check the pin names at the bottom of the board under the U_DEBUG header. 6.1.2 SJTAG debug The second interface is the Serial JTAG (SJTAG) one-wire interface. It works with various external JTAG debugger dongles through a Freescale-defined FPGA/CPLD. SJTAG supports the Green Hills Slingshot and ETM probe debugger dongles, as well as those made by ARM, Abatron, and Lauterbach. Note that the SJTAG interface comes without plastic header mounted. The HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG bit in the digital control block selects whether the one-wire serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. There are other options in the digital control block which might interest you and our advice is to check the iMX233's datasheet released by Freescale. Page 23 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual SJTAG Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 3.3VREG - 2 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 3 SJTAG_PSW 119,12 4 DEBUG 84 The pin names are also written at the bottom of the board for your convenience. 6.1.3 Classic JTAG debug The third option is to use the classic 6-pin parallel JTAG (not including GND and VCC). There are pads left for this option at the bottom of the board under the SD card holder. They are named individually and framed near a “JTAG” name. The important thing is that these pins are multiplexed with the SD card signals. In order to use the 6-pin JTAG you will have to stop using the SD card. Note also that the classic JTAG interface comes without plastic header mounted so in order to use it you will need to use wires for connection. Consider the the software settings required to switch from SJTAG to 6-pin JTAG and vice verse referring to the iMX233 manual. For instance: The HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG bit in the digital control block selects whether the serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG - 0x0 - Selects whether the one-wire serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. 0 = Parallel six-wire JTAG is enabled and is mapped to a collection of module pins that must be enabled by programming their MUXSEL bits in the pin control block. 1 = Serial JTAG is enabled and uses the dedicated DEBUG pin. The ROM bootcode writes this field prior to enabling JTAG, selecting which type of JTAG pin signaling to use. OLD_JTAG = 0x0 Use six-wire parallel JTAG mode. SERIAL_JTAG = 0x1 Use one-wire serial JTAG mode. It is good idea to check the datasheet of the iMX233 processor for all the options in the digital control block. The processor's datasheet should be always the first piece of paper you consult when Page 24 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual dealing with electronics.

Please check the manual part for microSD card for a schematic of the pins. Page 25 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual 6.2 SD/MMC slot The microSD card slot is a standard 8pin connector. We have tested a number of microSD cards on the OLinuXino boards and all of them worked fine regardless manufacturer or capacity. However, keep in mind that some of the lower quality microSD cards might draw too much current from the slot which might cause power-state problems. If you suspect the microSD card is causing problems please try using another one of better quality for better results. microSD card connector Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 SSP1_DATA2 86 2 SSP1_DATA3 87 3 SSP1_CMD 83 4 SD_VCC - 5 SSP1_SCK 90 6 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 7 SSP1_DATA0 84 8 SSP1_DATA1 85 Notice that the pad numeration is written at the bottom of OLinuXino-MINI under the microSD Page 26 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual card connector. When removing the card, please make sure that you release it from the connector by pushing and NOT by pulling the card directly (this can damage both the connector and the microSD card). 6.3 UEXT module OLinuXino board has UEXT connector and can interface Olimex's UEXT modules. For more information on UEXT please visit: http://www.olimex.com/dev/OTHER/UEXT.pdf *Note the two jumpers PIN29/SOFT_CL – PIN22/LCD_EN/I2C_SCL, and PIN28/SOFT_SDA3 – PIN21/LCD_HSYNC/I2C_SDA which by default are set to a software SPI. They can be used to set the whole UEXT to a hardware SPI.

They allow the user to attach additional hardware, check readings or perform hardware debug. The “GPIO Pin#” column shows connector number and does NOT represent the naming on the bottom of the board.

You can check the connection between Linux naming of the pin, Olimex naming of the pin and the consecutive connector pin number in the table below. The ones filled with “Not implemented” doesn't have Linux support by the time of writing and will be Page 29 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual updated overtime. “Linux GPIO” is the one you should use in Linux (the one in the datasheet); “OLinuXino name” is the pin as written on the bottom of the board. ”OLinuXino GPIO Connector #” is the consecutive number of pins with BAT being Pin#1 and GND#40. Note that if “OLinuXino Name” starts with P and then is followed by a number X, the PX is the name written on the bottom of the board (under the connector) with white ink. If “OLinuXino Name” is other text it is a signal used for the hardware of the board but still can be controller by the Linux (it can't be found at the GPIO connector though).

The big advantage of having USB hosts available over USB devices is that you can as well use them as masters. Page 31 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual The signals follow the familiar and standard USB host pattern: USB 2-level host PIN# SIGNAL NAME 1 USB_PWR_A 2 USB_HOST_D- 3 USB_HOST_D+ 4 GND 6.6 PWR Jack The power jack used is the typical 2.5mm one used by Olimex in most of our products.

The voltage of a 3.7V LIPO battery would be enough to power the processor and the memory but probably won't be enough to power all the devices you mount on the USB hosts. Pin # Signal Name 1 VBAT 2 GND The pins are also written on the top of the board in the base of the connector. 6.9 Composite video connector The composite video is the connector you should use if you wish OLinuXino- MINI video output on a monitor. The whole signal is controlled by pin #104 from the i.MX233 processor. The + signal is lead to the middle of the connector. The outside part is the GND. 6.10 Boot mode positions The iMX233 can boot the operating system from different locations. The default location for the Linux files we used is the microSD card. There are 4(four) jumpers responsible for the boot location: D03, D02, D01 and D00. They are located on the top of the board between the processor and 40pin GPIO connector. Note that the jumpers are SMD type and opening a jumper would require cutting, closing a jumper would require soldering. To be able to do the quoted operations you will need basic engineering skills and experience. You can check below the table or the Page 34 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual schematic for the correct positions. Value of “1” means the jumper is closed.

If you feel insecure in your soldering/cutting technique it is better not to try to adjust the jumpers. Page 35 of 48 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino user's manual 6.12.1 SCL_SW/SCL_HW and SDA_SW/SDA_HW Those two jumpers must be moved together – there are two available options – configuring software I2C interface (SCL_SW, SDA_SW) or hardware I2C interface (SCL_HW, SDA_HW positions). The default position is SCL_HW/SDA_HW (hardware SCL). 6.12.2 5V_E The 5V_E jumper allows control over the powering line. If you want to disable the 5V powering line open 5V_E jumper. The default position is closed. 6.12.3 3.3VIO_E and 3.3V_E jumpers Important these jumpers must be moved together! Closing both of 3.3V_E and 3.3VIO_E at the same time will damage the processor. One of them has to be open(unsoldered)Important these jumpers must be moved together! Closing both of 3.3V_E and 3.3VIO_E at the same time will damage the processor. One of them has to be open (unsoldered/cut). There are two possible positions: 1) 3.3V_E closed (soldered), 3.3VIO_E open (unsoldered/cut) 2) 3.3V_E open (unsoldered/cut), 3.3VIO_E closed (soldered) In the default variant 1) the board uses the mounted by OLIMEX DC-DC 3.3V convertor which when the board is powered by external supply is the better alternative. However, if you use battery it will not power the chip handling the USB and the LAN functionality. Basically the board will lack USB-HOSTs and LAN when jumpers are set in variant 1) and the board is powered by a battery via the BAT connector. If you set the jumpers in 2) state the board's 3.3V will be handled by the built-in iMX233 DC-DC but the problem is it isn't configured to be used with another chip so it doesn't provide enough current for all the USB-HOSTs and the LAN which might cause some of the devices plugged in the USB to lack power and also might burn the chip if too much current is drawn. However, in this 2) mode of jumpers it is possible to power the board from a battery and still have some current on the USB-HOSTs and the LAN. The maximum current the built-in DC-DC can provide safely is 200mA. 6.12.4 Boot mode selecting jumpers The boot mode is discussed in chapter 6.11 of this manual.

They are listed here for completeness: Reset button - used to reset the board Power button – when Linux is running pressing PWR_BUT will put the board in low power mode; when powered by battery PWR_BUT is used to initially power up the board – and pressing the board again after it is powered will put it low power mode Recovery pads (REC) - these can be used for attaching a recovery button; when powered by battery the recovery button is used to bring the processor to normal power mode – you can short- circuit the pads for this feature without having to mount a button 512 (32M x 16) MBit DDR SDRAM - the exact memory used at the moment of writing is Xylinx H5DU5xxxyyy LED1 + Power LED 6.14 Accessories Here you will find additional information for Olimex products you can use with OLinuXino-MINI purchase 6.14.1 USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F The cable for the U_DEBUG interface that can be purchased for additional cost has three cables. It is important to specify in your purchase order whether you want the USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F variant with male of female connectors. You will need a drivers that can be downloaded from the page of USB-SERIAL-CABLE: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Components/Cables/USB-Serial-Cable/USB-Serial-Cable-F/.

According to the IMX23RM, page 1368: If the DEBUG pin is unused, Freescale recommends pulling the DEBUG pin to ground through a 100K resistor. - Changed the text DEBUD to DEBUG into the SJTAG's connector bottom silk. - Added Schottky diode and increased R9 to 4.7K because of bug that might appear if using - Added C75(10pF) th - Added ferrite bead 2A on the 4 USB of the hub also (wifi only) - Moved the print of the names of PWR_JACK and 6-16VDC since they were overlapping; The Composite Video print is also adjusted. LINE_IN and HEADPHONES are also moved a bit. R44 and R55 too. E - The jumpers SW_SCL/HW_SCL and SW_SDA/HW_SDA position is changed to default HW (hardware SCL) - PGM_FUSES line is changed 10mils to the upper side, C48 is moved 5mils to the bottom edge.

Note that we are primarily a hardware company and our software support is limited. Please consider reading the paragraph below about the warranty of Olimex products. Warranty and returns: Our boards have lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and components. During development work it is not unlikely that you can burn your programmer or development board. This is normal, we also do development work and we have damaged A LOT of programmers and boards during our daily job so we know how it works. If our board/programmer has worked fine then stopped, please check if you didn't apply over voltage by mistake, or shorted something in your target board where the programmer was connected etc. Sometimes boards might get damaged by ESD shock voltage or if you spill coffee on them during your work when they are powered. Please note that warrany do not cover problems caused by unproper use, shorts, over-voltages, ESD shock etc. If the board has warranty label it should be not broken. Broken labels void the warranty, same applies for boards modified by the customer, for instance soldering additional components or removing components - such boards will be not be a subject of our warranty. If you are positive that the problem is due to manufacturing defect or component you can return the board back to us for inspection. When we receive the board we will check and if the problem is caused due to our fault and we will repair/replace the faulty hardware free of charge, otherwise we can quote price of the repair. Note that all shippings back and forth have to be covered by the customer. Before you ship anything back you need to ask for RMA. When you ship back please attach to it your shipping address, phone, e-mail, RMA# and brief description of the problem. All boards should be sent back in antistatic package and well packed to prevent damages during the transport. Page 48 of 48

FANTASTIC RESOURCE

One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER

star star star star star

Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.

CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS

Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE

This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
