Artila Releases Matrix-516 ARM9 Linux Computer

April 17, 2013 - Artila Electronics released Matrix-516, a small form-factor, low power consumption, and Linux-ready computing platform. With a 400MHz Atmel AT91SAM9G20 CPU, 64MB SDRAM and 128MB NAND Flash inside, Matrix-516 ensures system high performance. Matrix-516 is equipped with multiple I/O interfaces, including 2 LANs, 8 x isolated RS-485 serial ports, 2 x USB hosts, 1x micro-SD and 21 x GPIOs. It is easy to develop pure C/C++programs or Web-based applications such as SQLite+ and PHP to run on top of the Matrix-516. Matrix-516 is a reliable embedded computer to be used as an unattended controller 24/7 non-stop. It is ideal for all kinds of industrial applications, including intelligent transportation system (ITS), building automation, energy-saving system, and factory automation. Matrix-516 also provides a useful fail-safe design for system backup and recovery. Normally, Matrix-516 boots up from its NAND Flash. However, the Data Flash in Matrix-516 includes a backup Linux file system as well, which will automatically boot up Matrix-516 in case the primary NAND Flash fails. If the Matrix-516 boots up from the Data Flash, a menu-driven program will appear to help users restore NAND Flash images from a USB pen drive or an SD card.
