Ethernet-ready System on Chip

With the Ethernet protocol becoming the de facto network of choice for ever more professional, office, industrial, and even home environments, it makes sense to develop new systems or leverage existing ones to take advantage of Ethernet connectivity. Advantech's EVA-SOC offers 10/100 Ethernet connectivity using our proprietary, cost-effective 75MHz RISC-based microprocessor. This, combined with a royalty-free real time OS, contributes to top performance-to-cost ratio. Integrated components offer the combined benefits of increased reliability, reduced size, reduced costs, and reduced time to market.

The SOC
Advantech's EVA-X1610C System on Chip integrates Ethernet and  RS-232 connectivity into an 80C186-compatible 75MHz RISC microprocessor. This makes it possible to connect serial-port devices to the Ethernet transparently and cost-effectively.

The SOM
The System on Module is a mini-PCB featuring the EVA-X1610C chip, plus flash memory (with firmware), SDRAM, Ethernet PHY, WDT, and 2 serial ports. Firmware includes a robust TCP/IP stack, and RS-232 support. An upgrader's delight! IC design already taken care of. Port any RS-232 enabled device transparently to Ethernet connectivity.

The DK
Everything needed to develop and debug RISC-based systems and applications incorporating Ethernet connectivity. Total development environment lets developers concentrate on software and system development, not reinvent the hardware wheel. The Developer's Kit includes a carrier board, plus the EVA-X1610C-SOM, 10~30 VDC power supply, RJ-45 Ethernet connector, plus the EVA-X1610C-DK Development CD, with MicroC/OSII real-time OS & library, Ethernet & RS-232 COM port drivers, Ethernet networking protocol stack library & programming guide, and Ethernet networking services (HTTP, Telnet, FTP, SMTP).
