Deployment boards customised
11 March 2008
Altium extends its deployment NanoBoards to develop and test and transfer designs.
At Embedded World, Munich, Altium’s announced its deployment NanoBoards standard, off-the-shelf boards that can be customised to specific requirements.
Using Altium's Innovation Station (Altium Designer combined with the desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware development platform) electronics designers can develop and test device intelligence and transfer that design into the deployment NanoBoards for a complete (and marketable) product. The result of a complete, single electronics design environment that puts device intelligence at the centre of the design process enables designers to create differentiation through continuous design innovation. Electronics designers can now deploy a design into final hardware, making the end product immediately available.
The extended range of deployment NanoBoards features the same motherboard and choice of daughter and peripheral boards as the Altium Desktop NanoBoard. Designers will have the choice of using a deployment NanoBoard as a final product, or integrating deployment NanoBoards into larger systems such as mechanical devices. They will also be able to do semi-custom hardware design using the templates included with the Altium Designer software.
The Modular Commercial Enclosure system comprises basic units available in two sizes; a 1.0 and a 0.5 module. They can be configured by designers and come with a range of interchangeable components for an array of installation options.
The system is designed to support the pluggable NanoBoard hardware deployment platform and includes all templates, mounting details and graphic specifications required to produce a fully-customised application. The standard enclosures accommodate a motherboard with a choice of FPGA daughter boards and a 3.5-inch touch screen display. The standard 0.5 module provides for a maximum of two peripheral boards while the 1.0 module supports up to four peripheral boards.
