| XScale-based ConnectCore XP Module Digi International has announced the introduction of the ConnectCore XP, the newest member of the ConnectCore module family. The module combines the latest generation Intel XScale PXA270 processor, integrated Ethernet networking capabilities, and extensive peripheral support in a compact package, making it a powerful solution for demanding embedded applications. Full support for Linux and Windows CE is available. The ConnectCore XP's XScale processor runs at 520MHz making it suitable for high-performance applications, including secure networking and network encryption processing, audio processing, digital video playback and other embedded graphic and display functions. Typical products that would incorporate the ConnectCore XP include networked video displays, point-of-sale terminals or time and attendance equipment. Because the ConnectCore XP also features lower power consumption it is also well-suited for custom handheld applications and other portable or battery-operated devices.
