ConnectCoreâ„¢ 9P 9215 Highly Integrated Core Module

 

The ConnectCore 9P 9215 is a highly integrated and compact ARM core module based on the Digi NS9215 processor. It combines main processing functionality and unique interface flexibility with secure Ethernet network connectivity.

The ConnectCore 9P 9215 module delivers a powerful network-enabled core processor solution with a rich set of peripherals and flexibility. At the heart of the ConnectCore 9P 9215 module is a 32-bit ARM-based Digi NS9215 processor running at 150 MHz. Key features include a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, two on-chip Flexible Interface Modules (FIMs), 256-bit AES accelerator, power management modes with dynamic clock scaling, and a rich set of on-chip peripherals. The unique FIMs on the NS9215 processor are two independent 300 MHz DRPIC165X processor cores that allow customers to dynamically select application-specific interfaces from within software.

The growing list of supported interfaces will include UART, SD/SDIO, CAN bus, 1-Wire, I2S, Compact Flash, Wiegand, parallel bus interface, and others. Utilizing Digi's own ARM processor technology, the ConnectCore 9P 9215 offers the industry's only network-enabled core module with true long-term product availability to meet the extended life cycle requirements of embedded product designs.

The compact module is a flexible and secure network-enabled system on a module that is suitable for a wide variety of sophisticated applications. These include medical devices, retail systems, transportation, security/access control, building and industrial automation, warehousing, networked displays, and more.

The easy-to-use and cost-effective Digi JumpStart Kit development solutions minimise product design risks and dramatically shorten time-to-market while allowing you to start your embedded product development right out of the box.

They enable you to leverage the reliability and flexibility of the royalty-free and complete ThreadX-based NET+OS platform, or the rapid development and benefits of managed code offered by the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework software platform. We also offer professional technical support as well as a wide range of hardware and software custom designs for your project-specific development needs.
