Gumstix Introduces Palo35 Expansion Board for Mobile Devices Offers 3.5" LCD
Panel Connectivity for Design Engineers
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Gumstix, Inc. today introduced a new
expansion board for its tiny Overo(TM) computer-on-module (COM) series - the
Palo35. The Palo35, which supports a 3.5" LCD touch screen, complements the
existing Gumstix Palo43 expansion board. Design engineers who are building
small form factor, portable products including hand-held PDAs, portable
location tracking devices, transportation applications or e-books can
incorporate a Palo35 expansion board with any Overo COM into their product
design.
The Palo35 expansion board supports the 3.5" LG LCD with resistive touch
screen overlay @ 16 bpp through a 60-pin FPC connector. It features USB Host,
USB OTG, audio in and audio out and a 40-pin unpopulated standard header for
PWM, I2C, SPI, A/D, processor control, GPIO and analog signals. Palo35 also
includes cell battery backup and an accelerometer.
"Our OMAP-based Overo product line with Palo35 now gives design engineers a
wider variety of LCD panel and computer-on-module choices for building either
standalone or wireless network devices," said W. Gordon Kruberg, President and
CEO of Gumstix. "Gumstix's tiny computer-on-modules and off-the-shelf
expansion boards enable customers to plug them into their products easily,
without having to engineer the components themselves. Since Gumstix simplifies
their design and production process, they can get products to market more
quickly and cost-effectively. Their only limit is their imagination."
The Palo35 expansion board costs USD $45 and is available immediately at
www.gumstix.com.
