LOW-COST SDK FOR BLUE STREAK ARM9-BASED SoC

The LH7A400 Zoom SDK is a complete hardware and software solution, enabling developers to immediately begin developing applications and evaluating the functionality of the Sharp LH7A400 SoC and Card Engine (embedded-computing module). The SDK simplifies development by providing production quality software (device drivers and bootloader) and binary board support packages for Windows CE and Linux. It also provides optional display kits that can be immediately connected to the development kit, as well as expansion headers that provide easy access to all of the Card Engine peripherals for application development, prototyping, and debugging.

The compact LH7A400 Card Engine is a product-ready embedded-computing module that offers the essential features for handheld and embedded-networking applications in the industrial, consumer, and medial markets. The Card Engine comes standard with the following hardware: an LH7A400 ARM922T SoC running at 200 MHz, on-board flash memory (up to 32 MB), SDRAM (up to 64 MB), a touchscreen controller, and a 10/100BaseT Ethernet controller. It also includes audio codec, CompactFlash, and MCU-specific peripherals (e.g., an integrated LCD controller, USB client, I2C, PCMCIA/CF, and RTC).

The LH7A400 is a highly integrated general-purpose SoC that’s based on an industry-standard ARM9 core. It’s specifically designed to meet the performance, power consumption, and cost requirements of engineers designing multimedia and mobile handheld applications. The starter kit developed for the BlueStreak LH7A400 SoC is designed to scale with the OEM’s product roadmap. You can seamlessly plug Sharp’s next-generation BlueStreak MCUs and SoCs into the same application board. The Zoom Starter Development Kit for Sharp’s BlueStreak LH7A400 costs $349.
