OSD335x C-SiP Brings a Dead Bug Single Chip Computer to Life

C-SiP Linux Computer Dead Bug
C-SiP Dead Bug Single Chip Computer

 

Are you tired of spending all your time re-inventing the wheel? Unfortunately, many embedded engineers do just that; spend countless hours integrating the same core systems components over and over again. The OSD335x C-SiP allows you to break the cycle by providing an easy to use, complete system in a single package that integrates all of the core components that you need for your embedded system. Provide power, connect your peripherals, and you are ready to go. This single chip computer is so easy to use,  you can now ‘dead bug’ a 1GHz Linux computer. (Read More…)

Health Monitor Design with OSD335x SiP

 

Am335x Health Monitor

Having a full Linux computer, such as the OSD335x System in Package (SiP), the size of a coin enables abundant creativity when designing new IoT applications. The global health sensors market is in the billions and increasing at a rapid rate. When a market changes that quickly, designers need a flexible platform so they can spend time on the features they want to add. They also need reliable, open source hardware and software design tools. Therefore, the OSD335x-SM SiP, the smallest Texas Instruments AM335x module available, gives a solid foundation to build a health monitor.

The First STM32MP1 System-in-Package – OSD32MP15x

 

Embedded World, Nuremberg, Germany (February 25, 2019) – Octavo Systems today introduced the OSD32MP1, their first System-in-Package (SiP) product based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics.  The OSD32MP1 allows users of the popular STM32 family to move to Linux without adding size or complexity to their design.  Octavo has leveraged their years of experience creating tightly integrated system building blocks to develop a device that is up to 64% smaller than an equivalent system made from discrete components.  At only 18mm X 18mm the OSD32MP1 is the same size as the STM32MP1 but integrates: (Read More…)

Open-Hardware Building Automation System Controller Reference Design Using AM335x Based System in Package

 

Figure 1 Let’s have better control and put AM335x based system in package into all these Air Conditioner units!

Some applications of IoT are still being debated. Does your refrigerator really need an operating system and be connected to the internet? Should it try to detect when you’re out of milk and automatically order more? What if there’s an error and 50 gallons shows up on your doorstep? Just like many others, I do not know the answers to all these questions. One thing I know for sure is that IoT does belong in air conditioning and the control systems of medium-to-large buildings.  The OSD335x family of System-in-Package products featuring the AM335x, provides an excellent foundation for the design of an Open-Hardware Building Automation System Controller.  This article introduces a series of technical application notes for building a reference design with the OSD335x-SM.

Altium Symbol Library Available for OSD335x C-SiP

 

Completing an embedded design in record time.  Reducing the BOM to very few devices.  Giving a designer time to add more features to the application.  Sound like your wish list?  C-SiP is the answer.

The goal of our System-in-Package technology is to create modular building blocks that abstract away tedious, repetitive, and complex tasks that designers are forced to spend time on, but don’t really add value to the end system so that they can create better, more innovate products. At Octavo Systems, we designed a completely integrated 1GHz Arm® Cortex®-A8 computing platform, the OSD335x C-SiP™. The OSD335x C-SiP (Complete System-In-Package) integrates the required components for a computing system into a single IC package.

Today we took another step in making designing with the C-SiP easier by adding an Altium symbol library for you to download from our website.

Leveraging Engineering Experience: Embedded Linux Systems Jump-Start

You have a great new design idea. Now that you’ve chosen your processor and the System-in-Package that meets your needs, you need to get up to speed on the device. You grab your cup of coffee and sit down at your computer to check out the resources, but there is so much information out there! Where to begin?

When starting a new embedded systems design, wouldn’t it be nice to have a technical support mentor? Could you use an embedded engineer with years of experience, at your elbow helping you navigate all the information on the web? It can be difficult to navigate through the hundreds of pages of information to find key pieces that can help you get a jump-start on your design:

1GB DDR3 Option Now Available for the OSD335x-SM

Sometimes 512MB of DDR memory just isn’t enough. No matter how hard you try your application just needs more space. Maybe you are trying to process large datasets gathered from thousands of sensors around a building. Perhaps you developed a platform that is capable of running many completely different applications at the same time, or you have some awesome graphics you are trying to render. Whatever your software dilemma or creative idea for your embedded product may be, you just want to have more memory coupled with your computing system. Octavo Systems has heard your requests. We are happy to announce the general availability of a 1GB DDR memory option for the OSD335x-SM family of devices.
