Introduction
Overview
The SeaPAC R9-7R is an application-ready platform for your next product design. The system is based on
the 400MHz Atmel AT91SAM9G45 microcontroller boasting a 32-bit ARM® instruction set for maximum
performance.
To provide the fastest time to market, the Windows CE 6.0 BSP binary and low-level drivers for system I/O
are included. Additionally, the SeaPAC R9-7R software package is equipped with the Sealevel Talos I/O
Framework, which offers a high-level object-oriented .NET Compact Framework (CF) device interface. This
interface provides an I/O point abstraction layer with built-in support for the specific needs of analog and
digital I/O such as gain control and debouncing.
The SeaPAC R9-7R is housed in a rugged enclosure suitable for panel mounting and is rated for a –30°C to
+70°C operating temperature range. The SeaPAC R9-7R is powered from your 5VDC LPS source, or optional
power supply adapter.
