Blue Chip Technology have followed up the launch of their REsolution HMI single board computer kit with the further release of a supporting Linux BSP and the addition of a new 7 inch LCD module. Released into the market place in June 2009, REsolution is proving a popular product across the board with much interest coming from the instrumentation, multimedia and mobile markets. Comprising the RE1 single board computer, mounting, interfacing and range of display options – REsolution gives the design engineer all the basic building blocks needed for a versatile embedded HMI module. The resulting package is an integrated solution which is small and low power for fanless operation. The usual cabling, signalling and power issues of integrating a display and embedded board are all managed within the design, which guarantees long term availability and problem free fit, form and function upgrades.
Working with the Linux community, Blue Chip have released a new RE1 BSP which includes all the tools and guidance needed to kickstart any Linux based embedded project – a Linux kernel, root file system, Yamon bootloader and sample configurations.. Additionally, Blue Chip have added a 7 inch 800 x 480 resolution widescreen LCD to their range of display options, further increasing the versatility of the whole REsolution HMI package.
