Direct Insight
Triton-TX51
Direct Insight has introduced Triton-TX51, a tiny system-on-module based on Freescale's i.MX51 device.
The i.MX51 features an 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8 core with Neon Floating Point Unit, PowerVR graphics engine and hardware-implemented video codec with up to 720p resolution support.
It supports both Windows CE 6.0 and Linux 2.6.
Triton-TX51 is a 68 x 26mm 200-pin SODIMM module operating from a single 3.0 - 5.5V supply.
It provides 128MB mobile DDR400 RAM and 128MB NAND Flash, as well as power management and an external real-time clock.
The new module provides a wide range of connectivity, including USB 2.0 on-the-go and host, with full high-speed functionality and backwards compatibility.
The image-processing unit includes a CMOS sensor input, 24-bit LCD controller and TV out, with a 720p MPEG-4/H264 decoder.
Encode is supported at D1 resolution at 30fps.
An 10/100 Ethernet controller is complemented by two high-speed SDIO/SD Card ports and a range of serial and parallel interfaces including I2C, SPI, I2S, 1-Wire, PWM and others.
The i.MX51's PowerVR graphics controller enables OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation and accelerates a wide range of graphics applications and UI tools, including Microsoft's Silverlight and Adobe Flash Lite.
The Triton-TX51 plugs into the Starterkit-5 development system, which brings all 200 SODIMM pins to headers and provides a wide range of connectors, including Ethernet, SD Card, USB host and OTG and JTAG.
The system ships with Windows CE 6.0 or Linux.
Triton-TX51 is available from January 2010 from Direct Insight.
