Hannover, Germany — (press release excerpt) — the well known DIL/NetPC family by SSV Embedded Systems now has a new high-speed, networked RISC-based family member. The new DNP/1110 is based on a StrongARM SA1110 32-bit RISC system-on-chip processor and includes 32 MByte SDRAM and 8 MByte Flash memory and a built-in “fast” Ethernet interface.

A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Interface with embedded RAM for packet buffering includes support for full duplex operation. Other interfaces include 2 serial ports, 20 digital I/Os, and an expansion bus with programmable chip selects and interrupt inputs. The DNP/1110, which fits the dimensions of a standard 64-pin JEDEC dual-in-line socket, is totally pin-compatible with its 486-brother, the DNP/1486.

SSV offers a starter kit for easy system integration. The kit includes a networking prototyping board and several sample applications. Linux is included as the embedded operating system, based on a 2.4 kernel. The operating system can be stored in Flash together with the TCP/IP protocol stack, Web-, Telnet and FTP-Server. Therefore, the module is perfect as a high-speed gateway for TCP/IP-based embedded networking solutions.
