Overview

The RMI Alchemy™ Solutions DBAu1100™ Development Board is an integrated hardware and software system that leverages the power of the RMI Alchemy™ Solutions Au1100® processor. It’s a complete System-on-a-Chip (SoC) with a LCD controller that enables the development of low-power-consumption, high-performance Mobile Information Appliances (IAs), including Web pads, telematics, PDAs, and multimedia handheld computing devices.

The DBAu1100 Development Board is a turnkey solution that integrates a processor, memory and peripherals together on a single board, along with debugging assist features and software.

The DBAu1100 Development Board underscores RMI ’s commitment to providing customers with integrated systems that address their hardware and software needs, and positions RMI as a valued partner in the development of future Mobile IA solutions.


Highlights

Our DBAu1100 Development Board has been designed to help Mobile IA developers:


Test processor performance

The DBAu1100 development board is a fully integrated solution that includes both hardware and software, allowing developers to test the performance of the Au1100 processor in a variety of demanding Mobile IA applications.


Rapidly develop hardware and software solutions

The DBAu1100 Development Board has been optimized to help customers develop hardware and software solutions based on RMI's Au1100 processor. This system incorporates an Au1100 processor, SDRAM, RMI MirrorBit™ Flash memory, and an RMI 10/100 Ethernet PHY together onto a single board, along with debug assist software (including a YAMON monitor/debugger), drivers, and design files. The result is a fully integrated system that is ready to run customer-developed software, which in turn can help reduce the development time for a new Mobile IA solutions.
