TS-7800 High-Performance SBC
[Vendor: Technologic Systems]

High-End Performance with Embedded Ruggedness. The TS-7800 is an RoHS compliant single board computer based on a Marvell 500MHz ARM9 CPU. An internal 32-bit PCI bus provides a standard set of high-end on-board peripherals such as 10/100/1000 ethernet, dual SATA, and dual High-Speed host/slave USB 2.0. The TS-7800 features 128MB of DDR-RAM and 512MB of high-speed NAND flash.

Hardware

The TS-7800 features a 12,000 LUT on-board user-programmable Lattice FPGA. The FPGA provides extra peripherals such as 110 GPIO lines, additional serial ports, dual 4-bit mode high-speed SD Card sockets (full-size and micro SD Cards), and NAND controller. All the PC/104 pins are connected straight to the FPGA, giving the TS-7800 the flexibility to add external hardware and physical/transceiver layers. The default TS-7800 FPGA load provides a standard PC/104 bus on the 104-pin connectors, maintaining compatibility with our other ARM SBCs and wide range of PC/104 peripheral boards.

Backward Compatibility

The TS-7800 is backward compatible with our TS-72xx computers, providing 3 times more performance and higher-end features with identical footprint.

Software

The TS-7800 uses an improved Linux 2.6 Kernel (currently 2.6.21 version) that allows a two-second bootup and provides driver support for all on-board hardware. In addition, the 512 MB on-board Flash enables a full Debian distribution to be installed with a complete embedded development environment. (Sarge-nonEABI and Etch-EABI images available)

The TS-7800 is shipped with Linux Kernel 2.6 and the Debian distribution on on-board Flash. This default configuration is an embedded system that can run a wide range of server services, desktop-like applications and development tools.

Un-brickable Design

The TS-7800 bootstrap combines FPGA hardware logic, specific boot-up firmware and Kernel tweaks to ensure fast boot time, security, and high board recoverability:
  • Linux-based bootloader boots Linux 2.6 kernel to shell prompt in less than 2 seconds from SD card or onboard flash. A Linux bootload utility is available to boot any other Kernel or Operation System image from Linux shell prompt.
  • Un-brickable design ensures 100 percent recoverability from SD card in case of onboard flash erasure.
  • Full Debian linux can be installed on on-board Flash from a USB flash dongle, eliminating the need to use miniaturized embedded Linux distributions or blast/boot boards.
  • SD card security features can be utilized for boot medium verification or booting of locked SD cards.
The TS-7800 is also compatible with other Bootloaders, Linux distributions or Operating Systems. Contact us for further software support regarding the TS-7800.

FUEL Database on MontaVista Linux
Whether building a mobile handset, a car navigation system, a package tracking device, or a home entertainment console, developers need capable software systems, including an operating system, development tools, and supporting libraries, to gain maximum benefit from their hardware platform and to meet aggressive time-to-market goals.
