ADELAIDE
Multimedia i.MX31 Processor Module
ADELAIDE is a credit-card-sized 32-bit processor module based on the ARM11. It has a very powerful processor core and a wide range of interfaces for expansion and periphery module purposes.The low energy consumption and excellent graphics capability make it ideal for mobile use and for devices with graphical user interfaces.These modules come either with a customized real time Linux or Windows CE OS. On request we can supply a board support package (BSP), certified by Microsoft, as well as a collection of tailor-made drivers and libraries.

ADELAIDE modules are shipped with a standardized operating system (image) and related drivers and libraries. To customize the operating system to the individual requirements of your application, the Windows CE board support package (BSP) is required, which is available as binary for download on our FTP Server.
To use the BSP, the Microsoft Platform Builder is essential. You may need to purchase this additonal software from one of the Microsoft Windows Embedded distributors.
