Introduction to Embedded Computers
It takes the right hardware and software to optimize any embedded computing application. While each series in our embedded computing family may
have unique properties of its own, all Moxa embedded computers share the following features to maximize reliability and efficiency.
Rcore Embedded Software Platform
Moxa’s Rcore provides users with an integrated ready-to-run embedded platform that speeds up and reduces the effort required for system development
for faster time-to-market.
Real Industrial-grade Hardware Design
Moxa’s real industrial design supports features that provide users with a reliable platform for building the most optimal embedded solutions at the lowest
cost. The robust hardware design and easy-to-use software tools make Moxa’s embedded computers ideal for establishing embedded systems quickly
and effortlessly.
Ready-to-Run Platform
Moxa’s embedded computers are all-in-one devices that handle special
purpose computing tasks for industrial applications. The computers
use either the RISC-based ARM9, Intel XScale, Cirrus Logic, or X86
processor to provide powerful communication and computing functions.
In addition, an ample number of serial ports that support different
interfaces are available for connecting a variety of industrial devices to a
network for demanding numerical computing, protocol conversion, and
data processing tasks. Some of Moxa’s embedded computers even
come with a USB 2.0 port, CompactFlash, SD interfaces for storage
expansion, and a PCMCIA socket for adding wireless communication
capability, and the pre-built, ready-to-run Linux, Windows CE, or
Windows XP Embedded platforms are easy to access, so that software
programmers can concentrate on developing their own application
programs.
