ArchiTech takes centre stage for Silica at Embedded World 2014
Hall 1 Stand 340, Embedded World 2014, Nuremburg 25th – 27th February
SILICA showcases ArchiTech hardware solutions, complete with embedded Linux support, developed with the Yocto project
Poing, Germany, 28 January 2014 – Silica, an Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT) company, will be highlighting the benefits of its ArchiTech strategy during Embedded World, 25th – 27th February in Nuremburg. ArchiTech provides a solutions-oriented development ecosystem including a portfolio of boards created in collaboration with key vendors together with Board Support Packages (BSPs), software drivers and training.
“ArchiTech was introduced at embedded world 2013 and over the last 12 months has developed significantly,” said Laurence Dellicott, Technical Director EMEA SILICA. “This year we are introducing a number of new development boards as well as our own embedded Linux distribution, developed within the Yocto project. Having the boards, software and development teams all in house enables us to support our customers more effectively enabling them to achieve their design goals.”
ArchiTech boards being introduced by Silica at Embedded World include:
- Hachiko: a development board for the brand new Renesas RZ/A MCU based on an ARM® Cortex™ A9 core. This board offers low cost streamlined design for applications such as Door Entry Phones, Vending Machines, Barcode Scanners, Surveillance, and Data Communication Modules.
- Tibidabo: a high-end development and reference board powered by the Freescale i.MX 6Quad and running on Linux. The board is particularly suited for digital signage and gaming applications requiring the high performing GPU and two LVDS interfaces.
All the boards available from Silica under the ArchiTech brand have been developed as reference designs with real industrial applications in mind. ArchiTech provides schematics, gerber files and a common SDK across the range meaning customers only need to learn to use just one tool, which is not vendor specific. Similarly all BSPs are developed in house by the ArchiTech team.
