Overview

The TDK-4 is a ready-to-use development system for creating applications based on the Marvell PXA320 processor running either Windows CE 6 or Linux 2.6.x. The PXA320 combines ultra-low-power operation with outstanding multimedia performance, and features an extended instruction set that includes Wireless MMX instructions for enhanced image processing and graphics capability.

PXA320 overview can be found here.

A major advantage of the Kit-4 is that it is based around the TRITON-320 PXA320 module. System-on-Modules (SOM’s) like the TRITON-320 are a great way to reduce both time and costs to develop a new product, as the most complicated design areas (processor system and operating system driver development) are already done. In addition, the cost of maintenance is reduced as :

future software updates are supplied at no cost by simply downloading the latest versions from our website, and
warranty repair costs are lowered because the SOM can be re-used if a fault occurs on the carrier board.

 

Furthermore, while one part of the development team is developing software, the hardware engineers can quickly develop a simple 4 or 6-layer custom carrier board that will ultimately form the basis of your new product design.

Software

Apart from the pre-installed U-Boot firmware, the Kit-4 is supplied with pre-installed Linux TM kernel and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 BSP. The Linux kernel and Windows CE BSP support all of the Development Kit-4 peripherals to ensure that the TRITON-320 module can be easily integrated into existing platforms to minimize the development time and costs.

As standard the Linux kernel is supplied with all code sources and development tools so that it is possible to modify, compile and install the complete Linux or parts of it. Sources for the Windows CE BSP are available as a cost option. In addition, the customer is able to download free updates from our website at any time.

Linux drivers supplied
Windows CE 6 drivers supplied

U-Boot Bootloader
