MEN Micro Inc., a world-renown provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for demanding industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, has expanded its advanced series of PowerPC-based Embedded System Modules (ESMs) with a new single board computer (SBC) that employs Freescale’s latest MPC8548, providing up to 1.5 GHz of processing power.

Small module with Freescale MPC8548 and Altera Cyclone II FPGA

FPGA for configuration of application-specific I/O functions like additional serial interfaces, graphics, fieldbus interfaces and digital I/O

SBC incorporates latest processing, FPGA technology for small form factor applications

3U CompactPCI solution for industrial Wi-Fi

MEN Micro, Inc., (www.menmicro.com), a leading supplier of industrial real-time and embedded computer products, has formed a strategic alliance with ACT/Technico of Warminster, PA, making that firm the primary distributor for MEN Micro’s products in the U.S. ACT/Technico is a supplier and integrator of real-time and embedded systems.

The new D6 single board computer (SBC) from MEN Micro (www.menmicro.com) featuring a Pentium M or Celeron M processor and 24 PCI Express (PCIe) lanes is well suited to communication and control applications in rugged environmental conditions. With CPU frequencies up to two GHz, the 6U D6 is a 64-bit/66-MHz CompactPCI (cPCI) System Controller board.

The new F14 CompactPCI (cPCI) single board computer (SBC) from MEN Micro (www.menmicro.com) features a two-GHz Intel® Pentium M processor and is able to stand up to harsh environmental conditions in applications such as industrial automation, medical systems and transportation applications including trains, buses, airliners, ships and commercial vehicles.

MEN Micro and SYSGO AG have teamed up to offer SYSGO’s embedded Linux OS integrated onto MEN Micro’s EM1 embedded system module.
