ThinkCore DA-661/662/663 WinCE User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The MOXA ThinkCore DA-66X-CE Series (referred to here as the DA-66X-CE) includes the
DA-661-CE, DA-662-CE, and DA-663-CE. These RISC-based ready-to-run embedded computers
are ideal for embedded applications. The DA-66X-CE features 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports,
multiple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, a PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN communication, a
CompactFlash port for flash disk expansion, and USB ports for adding additional memory (such as
a USB Flash disk).
The DA-66X-CE uses an Intel XScale IXP-425 533 MHz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which
uses a CISC design, the IXP-425’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor
technology provide the DA-66X-CE with a powerful computing engine and communication
functions, but without generating a lot of heat. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 128 MB
SDRAM give you enough memory to run your application software directly on the DA-66X. As
the dual LAN ports are built right into the IXP-425 CPU, the DA-66X-CE makes an ideal
communication platform for network security applications. The DA-662 has four Ethernet ports
and the DA-663 has 2 multi-mode fiber optic connectors. If your application requires placing the
DA-66X-CE at a site that is not located near an Ethernet LAN connection, you can connect to the
network using the DA-66X’s PCMCIA port to attach a wireless LAN card.
The DA-66X-CE series of ready-to-run embedded computers are built on the Microsoft®
Windows® CE 5.0 operating system (OS). Building on a common, widely used programming
environment makes them suitable for both new system development and legacy system migration.
All of the necessary device drivers, such as a PCMCIA Wireless LAN module and Keypad, LCM,
and Buzzer control, are included with the DA-66X-CE. The operating system, device drivers, and
the software you develop for your own applications, can all be stored in the DA-66X’s Flash
memory.
