Qseven pad demonstration platform
Congatec has introduced a tablet PC technology demonstration platform designed to illustrate the flexibility of modular programming and its ability to reduce the design time and complexity of compact industrial equipment.
The Qseven pad demonstration platform is based on Congatec’s Qseven Conga-QMX6 module, which features Freescale’s latest I.MX6 processor, providing scalability from single-, dual- and quad-core processors in the same low-power form factor.
The demonstration platform also utilises Congatec’s SBM3 smart battery manager module to manage the complete power conversion, distribution and monitoring.
The platform runs an embedded Linux version. However, it is also capable of running other operating systems, such as Android or Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7).
Key benefits
- The Conga-QMX6 is said to deliver the low power and high performance needed in demanding applications and portable devices such as ruggedised tablet PCs.
- As many tablet PCs are now based on the Cortex-A9, a tablet PC featuring a Conga-QMX6 would have exactly the same performance as a full-custom design using the same, or similar, processor but with significantly less design cost and complexity.
- Most tablet PCs are still commonly developed using a full-custom approach, which introduces unnecessary complexity; the Qseven demonstration platform uses standard components, and further adaptations can be implemented easily by creating a customer-specific carrier board.
