New Product Names
General Description

With the 11th of January Bluetechnix introduces its new product names. The idea is to put more Core Module specific technical information into the product name. New Core Module names will have the 

  • Product Family,
  • CPU-Type, 
  • Connection-Type, 
  • Operating Temperature Range,
  • Crystal Frequency [MHz], 
  • RAM [MB], 
  • Flash [MB], 
  • External Controllers and optional, 
  • Special,

covered in their name. That expands of course the name but allows the customer/employee to get the most important Core Module specific information at the first sight.

Example: CM-BF537-C-C-Q25S32F4 was formerly known as CM-BF537E.

 Flash

Gives Information on the on board flash.
Notation:

  •  F for NOR Flash [MB]
  •  N for NAND Flash [MB]


E.g. F32N128 » 32MB NOR and 128MB NAND flash

 External Controllers

This field can be filled iff the Core Module has mounted an extra interface controller which is implementing a peripheral PC-interface.
Notation:

  • E for Ethernet
  • U for USB 
 Special

This field is used to indicate custom Core Modules or specials with this product. This special is limited to 4 chars!
