The phyCORE Single Board Computer (SBC) module is designed to plug into a PHYTEC Carrier Board that provides I/O connectors such as DB-9, RJ-45, USB, and power jack, as well as any other interface circuitry not provided on the phyCORE module itself. The phyCORE SBC module is at the core of our Rapid Development Kits. Once programmed, the phyCORE module can be removed from the Carrier Board and inserted like a "big chip" into test beds, prototypes, and production units for OEM deployment, making full use of its modularity and compact form factor.
phyCORE SBC modules are available in a variety of Rapid Development Kits that offer true rapid development solutions by providing all the necessary ingredients to jump start embedded designs. The kits include the phyCORE SBC module and Carrier Board, LCD (select kits), pre-installed Windows Embedded CE 6.0 or Linux OS demo image (select kits), complete electronic documentation, schematics, demo applications, and third party industry-standard C compilers and embedded development environments for evaluation.
PHYTEC also backs up our kits with a Start-Up Guarantee. We invite you to make use of our free technical support until any start-up problem you might encounter is solved. The positive out-of-box experience with the Rapid Development Kit illustrates PHYTEC´s continuous commitment to providing customers with effective embedded solutions by offering a hands-on, industry-centric entry point for embedded developments, which is a key starting point for OEMs needing to have a complete solution up and running under very short development time constraints.
The phyCORE module, combined with the PHYTEC Carrier Board, provides an excellent platform to jump start embedded designs and propel concept to prototype and finished product.
