This video demonstrates the new G400-D System on Module (SoM) by GHI Electronics:
The all new G400-D System on Module (SoM) hosts a 400Mhz ARM9 processor and 128MB DDR2, making it capable of running full blown operating systems like Android. The SoM comes standard with Microsoft’s .NET Micro Framework (NETMF) and GHI’s premium libraries, no licensing and no royalties. NETMF allows G400-D to be programmed using the freely available Visual Studio Express, in C# and Visual Basic. With full debugging capability built-in using a USB cable there is no need for costly JTAG and IDEs.
How much power does this use (in active and sleep modes) and can you underclock it to lower power even more?
Wondering if it can be operated off a battery backed up solar panel….
I love GHI and the netmf ecosystem, it’s hands down the easiest embedded free platform to work with. I’ll get one of those as soon as possible.
@ken If you are looking for low power netmf modules check out the entire product line from GHI there is probably something better tailored for your needs.
