specification, features, and software development.
1.1 Introduction
SOC8200 is an industrial evaluation kit designed and manufactured by Embest Info&Tech
Co.,LTD., SOC8200 is based on processor AM3517 of Texas Instrument (TI). Processor AM3715
is integrated with 600Mhz ARM Cortex-A8 Core which is dedicated using to Process industrial
signal. SOC8200 provides, 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface, S-VIDEO interface, Audio input and
output interfaces, USB device, USB HOST, SD card interface, series port, CF card, SPI interface,
I2C interface, JTAG interface, CAMERA interface, LCD interface, touch screen interface and
keyboard as well as HDMI (DVI-D) interface. This high performance and low power consumption
enable the device to support the following applications:
Industrial control, field communication, medical equipment, instrumentation, security
systems etc.
