AMD while building on the long-lived legacy of the Geode LX processor family is planning the next generation of long-life Embedded Processor platforms. Adding what they have learned with their first attempt at redesigning the LX800, the AMD Embedded APU family of the G-Series and R-Series processors. AMD Embedded [...]
Designed and manufactured in the USA by EMAC Inc., the SOM-5728M is a wide temperature, fanless system on module built to meet the intense processing needs of modern embedded systems. The SOM-5728 TI SOM AM5728 Cortex-A15 utilizes a 1.5 GHz TI Sitara AM572x Dual ARM Coretx-A15 & Dual Cortex-M4 [...]
Embedded x86 or ARM processors are both processor architectures. Think of it as a Train vs a Truck, they both transfer cargo from one place to another, but they do it in different ways and each has advantages and disadvantages over the other. x86 is a Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) [...]
In my last few blogs I have touted EMAC’s manufacturing capabilities and while I mentioned our Engineering services, I have not gotten into any detail. As I mentioned, EMAC is unique in that we offer both Engineering and Manufacturing services. But what make EMAC even more unique is that we have [...]
EMAC's contract manufacturer custom manufacturing services differ from your typical Electronic Assembly Contract Manufacturer. First of all, we are primarily an Engineering Design Firm that offers Contract manufacture/custom manufacturing services. We take our Engineering Mindset and apply it to our custom manufacturing services process. The first thing that we do with [...]
In my last Blog I mentioned custom software tools that EMAC created in order to allow us to efficiently adapt, react and manage manufacturing in this chaotic component climate. In this blog, I would like to describe some of these tools, how they work and the benefits that they provide. EMAC [...]
As most can attest to, the last couple of years have really been a struggle getting components. EMAC has orders from early 2021 for Intel FPGAs that we are not scheduled to receive until late 2023. Furthermore, we had parts stolen out from under us and POs pushed out [...]
With EOL AMD Geode LX800, EMAC can always help you choose the best Off-the-Shelf replacement for any legacy system. While most AMD Geode LX800 EOL Replacements do not have 100% of the same IO or header configurations. We can offer a range of boards to pick from in almost [...]
The LX800 Started out as the Cyrix MediaGX processor. This CPU was first built and delivered in computers in 1997. The MediaGX CPU was an alternative to the Intel and AMD Socketed CPUs of the time. The MediaGX name was kept by the Cyrix division of National Semiconductor; [...]
Windows 10 Now Supported on RISC, NXP iMX.8 CPUs We are pleased to announce that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise will be released on the ROM-5720 and ROM-5722 SMARC Computer-on-Modules and RSB-3720 and RSB-3730. These products are based on NXP’s i.MX 8M family of application processors. This highly-optimized Windows 10 [...]
