Total Phase Sponsors Prizes for the BeagleBone Cape Plug-In Board Design Contest Hosted by BeagleBoard.org
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 08, 2012
Total Phase, a provider of industry-leading USB, I2C, SPI, and CAN embedded systems tools, is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the BeagleBone Cape Plug-in Board Design Contest. Hosted by BeagleBoard.org, the contest provides embedded engineers and hobbyists with the opportunity to see their BeagleBone cape plug-in board design put into full production. Total Phase has worked closely with BeagleBoard.org and Texas Instruments, Incorporated (TI) for several years. As a result, Total Phase is sponsoring more than $ 5,000 in prizes for contest participants.
Contestants can win Total Phase prizes two different ways. First, all online visitors will have the opportunity to win Total Phase tools during weekly contests hosted by BeagleBoard.org. Second, the top three design contest winners, selected by a panel of judges from BeagleBoard.org, TI and CircuitCo Electronics for their innovative designs, will receive their choice of a Total Phase USB, I2C, SPI, or CAN development kit. All design entries are due by Dec. 31, 2012. The winners will be announced on Jan. 14, 2013. Details of the prizes and judging criteria can be found on the contest page.
“We’re excited about the launch of our BeagleBone Cape Plug-in Board Design Contest,” said Alejandro Erives, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments. “The support from Total Phase adds increased value to the contest by providing a broad range of prizes that help BeagleBone enthusiasts enhance functionality and turn their BeagleBone into unique projects. We appreciate having Total Phase as a sponsor of this contest.”
“Total Phase is pleased to be a part of the BeagleBone design contest,” said Derek Fung, VP Business at Total Phase, Inc. “We believe that our line of debugging and development tools will be a valuable resource for contestants in their design efforts. We wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to seeing all the creative cape plug-in board designs submitted in this contest.”
BeagleBone and the Cape Plug-In Board Design Contest
BeagleBone is a credit-card-sized Linux computer that connects with the Internet and runs software such as Android 4.0 and Ubuntu. It allows developers to evaluate Sitara™ AM335x ARM® Cortex™-A8 processors from TI with a single cable and under 10-second Linux boot; enabling development in less than 5 minutes. Users can add cape plug-in boards to easily augment the BeagleBone’s capabilities.

NEXCOM EBC 310X 3.5″ Embedded Board Designed for Harsh Environments
NEXCOM EBC 310X 3.5″ Embedded Board Designed for Harsh Environments
Fremont, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2012
NEXCOM’s 3.5″ board, the EBC 310X, upgrades to support operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, and comes with conformal coating for added protection. With a sleek profile of 146mm x 105mm, the 3.5″ board aims to serve as a reliable platform for embedded industrial applications requiring small, yet thermally resilient hardware with optimal balance of power and performance. With its compact size, reliability and thermal resistance, the EBC 310X is ideal for outdoor environments in extreme cold and heat conditions such as traffic control, railways, coal mines, and rural gas stations. In addition, the rugged design makes it perfect for harsh industrial control and automation environments, such as weather stations in snowy mountains and deserts.
Specially designed for extreme temperature fluctuating environments, the 3.5” board is built with industrial grade hardware – Intel® Atom™ processor E640T System-on-Chip (SoC), on-board memory, transformers, LAN controller, X’TAL and power components. All components are carefully selected, laid out, and tested under the IEC-68-2-14 standard to ensure stability and that it operates reliably within temperature ranges of -40°C to 85°C. Furthermore, the small footprint, low power consumption SoC processor is rated for wide temperature, which perfectly meets the thermal constraints of embedded applications.
Conformal Coating/De-Flux Cleaning Process
NEXCOM’s conformal coating gives embedded boards extra protection from hazardous substances such as dust, chemicals, moisture, corrosion, and intense temperatures. What makes NEXCOM’s conformal coating stand out is the de-flux cleaning technology applied during the process. NEXCOM’s first-class de-flux cleaning system cleanses the PCB thoroughly before coating. This process improves the quality of conformal coating by increasing overall stability of the embedded boards. In addition, NEXCOM’s conformal coating and cleaning services conform to IPC-A610, IPC-CC-820 and IPC J-STD-001E regulations, while promising quality, reliability and stability.
About NEXCOM: NEXCOM International Co., LTD., an ISO-9001-certified company and a member of PICMG, PCI-SIG, and the Intel® Embedded Alliance, is at the forefront of the competition by offering OEM, ODM and OBM designs for products such as innovative blade servers; network security appliances; industrial and embedded PC products such as single board computers, embedded boards and systems; CompactPCI CPU boards; industrial-grade server boards; and customized platforms. Established in 1992, NEXCOM has since won several patents, awards, certifications for its high-quality products and service that meet international standards and worldwide customers’ requirements. To serve its worldwide customers well, NEXCOM, headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, has set up seven subsidiaries in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, China, Japan as well as distributors in the other parts of the world.
