DevKit270 Main Board 
Embest DevKit270 Main Board is a high-performance compact board based on Marvell XScale 520MHz PXA270 ARM processor, with 1GByte of MDOC flash and 128MByte of SDRAM as well as a MiniSD card slot supporting up to 2GB capacity. It features standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and a 3,500 mAH rechargeable Lithium battery. A barcode scanner interface and a RFID antenna interface are also available. The board exposes many other hardware interfaces including RS232 serial port, USB Host/Device, LCD/TSP and Jtag. It mainly targets the development of PDA, Handheld PC, Tablet PC and smart phones.
The DevKit270 main board can support 16-gray STN-LCDs or 256-color STN-LCDs of various size and the maximum virtual screen size in 256 color mode is up to 4096*1024. It can also support 1, 2, 4 or 8-bpp TFT-LCDs of various size and the maximum virtual screen size in 64K color mode is up to 2048*1024. Embest offers, as options, a DATA IMAGW 7" TFT LCD with 800*480 pixels resolution and a tiny RFID antenna board.
The DevKit270 main board is able to support WinCE OS. The software package includes WinCE6.0 BSP and drivers of which many are in source code. Embest also provide user manual, schematic drawing and datasheet documents to help customers better understand the board. This would be an ideal solid basis for your embedded applications
