C-Data Solutions has a mini computer the size of a Compact Flash card. Yes, that’s right. The form factor of this Linux computer is that of a Compact Flash card. The solution uses a CF DAQ card as the main processor and you can expand for additional flexibility using the CF COMM cards.
The Compact Flash Computer utilizes Motorola’s Coldfire MFC5272 processor. The on-board flash memory file system provides storage for the operating system (ucLinux) and user applications. Expansion is via a 16 bit bus compatible with Compact Flash devices. Up to eight devices can be integrate into a system using the Bus Extension Unit (CF type II device).
Here are the impressive specifications to the CF Linux computer:
- 43 x 37 x 5 mm
- Compact Flash Type II Card
- 16 Bit CF expansion bus Interfaces to CF cards
- 32 bit Coldfire cpu
- 32 MB SRAM
