Product Overview
Introduction
The EDM6070AR-01 is an ARM based Single Board Computer (SBC),
designed & developed by element14. It comprises of a 7” LCD display and
touch
screen
assembly, integrated with
multi-functional
embedded
hardware based on Atmel’s ARM9 AT91SAM9X35 industrial processor.
The EDM6070AR-01 is a fully integrated Embedded Display Module
solution for variety of embedded control HMI applications, ready to drop
into your product with negligible integration effort, OR to just wrap an
enclosure around, add a software application and become your finished
product. EDM6070 is designed to fulfil the different requirements of
various HMI applications including industrial control terminals, intelligent
instruments, data acquisition and analysis, medical products, and network
terminals.
EDM6070AR-01 consists of three parts: a MINI6935 CPU core module, an
expansion board, and a 7-inch TFT LCD (800×480) with resistive touch
screen.
MINI6935 CPU module is an ARM embedded board, integrated
with
the
ATMEL
ARM926EJ-S-based
processor
AT91SAM9X35,
operating at 400MHz frequency. The board has 128MB DDR2
SDRAM,
256MB
NAND
Flash,
4MB
DataFlash,
4KB
two-wire
EEPROM.
The Base Board expands the rich set of connectivity and user
interface peripherals of Atmel AT91SAM9X35 including Ethernet and
CAN interface. The board also has TFT touch screen LCD interface,
USB hosts/device, Buzzer, RS232, RS485, Audio, GPIOs and SD
card interface to allow large storage capabilities.

LCD Touchscreen Display is a 4-wire resistive touchscreen TFT
LCD display with a display resolution of up to 800x480 with 24-bit
colour depth.
The EDM6070AR-01 includes Linux BSP and supports the Linux QT GUI
(Graphical User Interface) and multiple file systems like, FAT, NTFS etc. It
is also supplied with a Smart Home demo application (include smart-led
controller,
weather
controller,
video)
and
a
number
of
example
applications to give you a quick and easy start.
