ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The ThinkCore DA-660 WinCE embedded computer is ideal for reliable, small-footprint,
programmable, communication-centric applications. DA-660 uses an Intel XScale IXP-422
RISC-based CPU running at a clock rate of 266 MHz. Unlike the CISC architecture under an X86
CPU, the RISC design supports compact instruction sets. A RISC-based CPU generates less heat
and consequently enhances reliability. To provide sufficient data storage and run-time memory for
your applications, DA-660 integrates 32 MB of Flash memory and 128 MB of SDRAM. In
addition, the DA-660 has two LAN ports and 8 or 16 serial ports to extend its communication
capabilities. Two efficient LAN ports support high-performance data transmission over the
Intranet/Internet. Each serial port supports an RS-232/422/485 3-in-1 operation mode switch to
provide centrally-controlled connectivity to diverse serial devices.
The Da-660 WinCE system is built on the Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 operating system (OS).
Using a common, widely used programming environment makes DA-660 suitable for new system
development and legacy system migration.
The hardware and software capabilities of the Da-660 WinCE system make it an ideal computing
platform for data acquisition and transmission applications.
