| Axis Device Server Platform |
[Vendor: Axis Communications]
The Axis Device Server Platform is a compact (4.3 x 4.4 x 1.1 in.) enclosed version of the Axis ETRAX Developer Board that can be used as a deployment platform for your application. This product is identical in function to the Axis Developer Board LX (described below), with the exception of the additional black aluminium casing. Note that the pin header is not exposed when using the casing; the available ports are Ethernet, the serial ports, and the power connector.
The Device Server Platform is equipped with connectors for Ethernet, COM1, COM2, and RS-485. An Ethernet address is pre-programmed in each unit. Wrapped in a black aluminum casing and side plates, and complying with immunity, emission, and safety standards, the product is ready for immediate deployment. Except for a product label sticker on the underside, neither the casing nor the side plates have any Axis text or logos printed on them.
The Device Server Platform ships product-ready; therefore the customer doesn't need to spend any time on hardware development, tests for authority approvals, or buying and programming Ethernet addresses. When the application is ready, the software can simply be flash-loaded to the Device Server Platform using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), a serial port, or Axis flash load method.
Besides the ETRAX 100LX chip (described below), the Developer Board features an RJ-45 Ethernet connector, 2 serial ports + serial debug port, 1 RS-485 port, pin-header with parallel and general purpose I/O, 2MB of Flash, and 8MB of RAM. After downloading the Linux kernel source code, applications,and the GNU CC development environment from developer.axis.com, programmers can immediately start the development of their own applications.
This ETRAX 100LX System-on-Chip is designed specifically for embedded Linux developers and features an on-chip 100 MHz 32-bit RISC CPU, cache and MMU, 10/100 full duplex Ethernet controller, SDRAM, Flash and other memory controllers, DMA driven ports: 2 synchronous and 4 asynchronous serial ports, 2 parallel ports, 2 USB ports, SCSI and EIDE/ATA-2 ports. It is a price competitive hardware option for designers of embedded Linux appliances.
