The Digi Connect ME 9210 is an ultra-compact embedded module based on Digi's new and powerful 32-bit NS9210 processor with a 75 MHz ARM9 core. It allows customers to implement the next generation of leading network-enabled products and maintains full form factor and pin-compatibility with the existing Digi Connect ME family. Digi’s own NET+ARM processor technology also delivers the true long-term availability that is a key requirement for embedded applications.
The Digi Connect ME 9210 can provide future application-specific interface options (CAN, 1-Wire, UART, USB device, etc.) through its unique on-chip Flexible Interface Module (FIM), while still keeping the main serial port or other peripheral interfaces available. The module is also suitable for more advanced main application processor applications with its support of up to ten shared GPIOs, external IRQs and an extended set of peripheral interface options such as I2C and SPI.
Digi JumpStart Kits® are cost-effective, easy-to-use development solutions that minimize product design risks and shorten time-to-market. They leverage the reliability and flexibility of the royalty-free ThreadX-based NET+OS® platform, or the readily available library of software and community support of the Linux® environment.
