1. INTRODUCTION
The RCM5600W MiniCore module provides a compact module in
a mini PCI Express form factor with integrated Wi-Fi/802.11b/g
functionality to allow you to create a low-cost, low-power, Wi-Fi
based control and communications solution for your embedded
system.
A Development Kit is available with the essentials that you need
to design your own microprocessor-based system, and includes
a complete Dynamic C software development system. The
Development Kit also contains an Interface Board with a USB
connection that will allow you to evaluate the RCM5600W, and
a Prototyping Board to help you to develop your own applica-
tions. You will also be able to write and test software for the
RCM5600W modules, including Wi-Fi applications.
The RCM5600W has a Rabbit 5000 microprocessor operating at up to 73.73 MHz, flash
memory, two clocks (main oscillator and real-time clock), and the circuitry necessary to
reset and manage the Rabbit 5000. An edge connector brings out the RCM5600W user
interface to a 52-pin mini PCI Express socket on the motherboard the RCM5600W is
mounted on.
The RCM5600W receives its +3.3 V power from the motherboard on which it is mounted.
The RCM5600W can interface with other CMOS-compatible digital devices through the
motherboard.
