TOUGH. FAST. WHITE. –– introducing WHITEspeed The groundbreaking Computer On Module. Designed & assembled by ERNI in Germany. — introducing WHITEspeed TOUGH. FAST. WHITE. Computer On Module with Baseboard ERNI presents ARM-based COM (Computer On Module) solutions with reliable MicroSpeed connectors for harsh industrial environments. ERNI WHITEspeed is a powerful, reliable and space-saving embedded computer. In developing these COM products, ERNI has been able to draw on its extensive experience in the field of board and backplane design in addition to its core competency in compact and high performance connectors. The implementation of the new WHITEspeed interface standard benefits from the high speed and reliability of the MicroSpeed connectors. With this, the ERNI company is in particular addressing applications in harsh and demanding industrial environments such as in the field of transport, heavy engineering and automation exposed to high shock and vibration loads. 2 The popular ARM technology has now attained a level of performance that makes it attractive also for sophisticated embedded computing applications. Comprehensive operating systems and software support simplifies the development of software for numerous applications. With a new standard for ARM-based Computer On Modules, ERNI simplifies system development on hardware level and offers high signal integrity leveraging from the benefits of the MicroSpeed connectors. Next Generation of Computer On Module The portfolio comprises a WHITEspeed family of pin-compatible ARM-based mezzanine modules, which differentiate in terms of the CPU performance (clock rate, number of cores, coprocessors) and I/Os and memory capacity. In addition, a fully equipped, adaptable baseboard is available, which can be supplied also with an optional display. This carrier board is the development platform for the application software and, at the same time, the basis for customer-specific boards. Using four MicroSpeed signal connectors and one MicroSpeed Power Module, ERNI realises the new standardised interface (WHITEspeed 1.0) of the modules to the baseboard, which supports the following: Ethernet 10 MB/100 MB/1GB, SATA, PCI Express x1/x4 Gen2, Express Card, UART, USB 2.0 High Speed, CAN, I2C, SMB (System Management Bus), SPI, LVDS for LCD displays, HDMI (alternatively SDVO or display port), HDA (High Definition Audio), Secure Digital memory card interface, GPIOs, RESET, Watchdog and PWM. The use of MicroSpeed connectors offers decisive advantages with regard to reliability and robustness compared with alternatives using card-edge connectors or connectors with only one contact point. Thanks to the dual-leaf contacts, the MicroSpeed connectors not only offer high contact reliability but also an excellent mating tolerance. ERNI initially offers modules with ARM Cortex-A8 CPU (Freescale i.MX537). The on-board memories include DDR3-RAM, reliable NOR flash for the boot code, NAND flash and I2C-EEPROM with up to 128 kB for the configuration data. The CPUs also offer comprehensive power management functions. As additions in the near future there will be two new modules: an implementation with a Cortex-A5 single-core CPU and a module featuring i.MX6 processors (Cortex-A9) with single, dual, and quad CPU cores. For hardware support there is a Linux Board Support P ackage (BSP). Windows Embedded and other operating systems are to follow. On a credit card format (85mm x 55mm), the new mezzanine boards offer a powerful i.MX537 CPU from Freescale with an ARM Cortex-A8 core. To permit high-speed and reliable connection to the baseboard and I/Os, two-row 50-pin MicroSpeed connectors are available. The MicroSpeed connectors are characterised by the proven dual-leaf spring contact and the effective shielding. This allows high data rates (up to 10Gbps and more) to be transmitted reliably. This makes extremely compact, high-speed and reliable connections possible also in harsh industrial environments.
