Direct Insight debuts SODIMM-sized, ARM-based computer-on-a-module

Well, it may not exactly be the computer everyone’s been pining for, but those that have dreamed of an ARM Cortex-A8 -based computer on a SODIMM module now finally one to call their own. That comes in the form of Direct Insight’s new TRITON-TX51, which outdoes the Nokia N900 with an 800GHz Cortex-A8 processor, along with Freescale’s i.MX515 system-on-a-chip, 128MB DDR400 RAM, 128MB of NAND flash, and a touchscreen controller that can drive screens at resolutions up to 1,280 x 768. You’ll also get some other things nice to have on a computer like a 10/100 ethernet controller and a USB 2.0 interface, and even a reasonably capable PowerVR graphics engine that can do OpenGL ES 2.0 and hardware 720p decoding for MPEG-4/H264 video.

That all for the excerpt of a new story about Direct Insight debuts SODIMM-sized, ARM-based computer-on-a-module and don’t miss my next post, keep in touch with me or you can read another post of mine. Gadget news from Engadget.
