Topaz i.MX25 Development Kits are back in stock. The quickest way to get one is via our online order page.
The Topaz Development kit uses the surface-mount LGA module, but we also have a SO-DIMM form-factor module for projects where a plug-in module makes more sense. Sample quantities of both of these modules are also in stock.
GuruCE have a new software release for Topaz. It adds an SDK for the General Purpose Timers (GPT) feature on the i.MX25 along with fixes and enhancements to the boot-loader and a number of drivers.
The full list of changes is here, and you can download the new release here.
We have a new sample app for the Opal Development Kit.
This is a Windows Embedded Compact 7 application and uses the Silverlight tools for the user interface. The goal is to demonstrate how to access the extra features we have on the Opal Development Kit including the I/O, accelerometer and GPS.
You can download the source and a pre-built binary here.
The Opal Development Kit makes it easy to interface to devices on a CAN bus. It has CAN transceivers on-board, and push-wire connectors so you can get developing fast.
This video has more details, along with a Windows Embedded Compact 7 demo. The demo source code is available here.
The GuruCE FlexCAN driver is also included in the Windows CE 6.0 BSP for the Topaz i.MX25 CPU module.
The Opal Development Kit has several I/O features to make prototyping applications easy. These include: 4 x protected digital inputs, 4 x 5V digital outputs, 2 push-buttons and 2 LEDs.
This video shows how easy it is to get developing with these features.
The source code for the Windows Embedded Compact 7 demo application is available here.
We have created a couple of videos demonstrating specific features on the Opal Development Kit. They cover the display options, and the USB/Serial debug interface we have on the kit.
There are some more videos in the works which will be online in January. If there is anything specific you want us to highlight in future videos, let us know!

“Focus on what you are good at” is a message we give our customers all the time. When designing embedded products, starting with a processor module lets you do just that. We try to do the same in our business, and partner with other companies so that we can focus on designing and manufacturing the best modules.
We recently added a Partners page to our web site that highlights the companies we are working with. Some have been visible on our web site before, like GuruCE and Trygtech who provide Operating System ports.
A new section is our System Integrators. These are companies who have experience in designing with our modules and provide turn-key product development. If you are looking for help with your new project, get in touch directly or contact us for an introduction.
