Tiny-PPC837 High Performance PowerPC based PCI/104-Express Communications Controller
The Tiny-PPC837 is a highly integrated PowerPC based controller board
optimized for extreme, high performance application in communication
systems. The Tiny-PPC837 is powered by the 667MHz MPC8377E PowerQUICC
II Pro embedded processor, offering two Gigabit Ethernet ports with dual
PCI-Express controllers. The board is an industry standard PCI/104-Express
form factor card and offers both PCI Express and traditional 32bit PCI
interfaces. The Tiny-PPC837 is currently supported by embedded Linux only
(please contact our sales team for information about other embedded
operating systems).
In addition to the Gigabit Ethernet ports and PCI-Express links, the
board also supports up to 2Gbytes of DDR DRAM and an onboard 2Gbyte
solid state Flash drive for application and data storage. Off board
data storage can be achieved using either the USB 2.0 port or the high
speed SATA drive interface.
The Tiny-PPC837 has been designed for demanding digital video storage and
video streaming applications.
