content: Ok... not really "For sale" this time... I'm getting rid of these to raise money for charity.I've entered the Lakeland 50 Ultra Trail Race next July, 50 miles round the Lake District with over 3000m of ascent along the way. I got a charity place and have committed to raising money for Montane's chosen charity - Epic Kidz.So... I've got a pile of these to get rid of:https://uk.farnell.com/embest/sbc6000x-with-4-3-lcd/sbc-sam9261s-w-4-3-lcd/dp/2136531It's just the box, board, touchscreen and connecting cable, no PSU or any other of the stuff that normally comes in the box. Note that the touchscreen is actually a lot bigger than shown in the photo.Looks like a very capable board:http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/677579.pdf• Atmel AT91SAM9261S (ARM926EJ-S core with MMU capable of 200MHz operation)• USB Host/Device, Ethernet, Serial Ports, LCD, SD, Audio, Keyboard…• Extended Precise RTC, RS485 with Isolation• Supports Linux 2.6 OS and WinCE6.0 OS• 64Mbyte SDRAM (2*16-bit, support up to 128Mbyte)• 128Mbyte Nand Flash (support up to 256Mbyte)• 2Kbit EEPROM• 4/8Mbyte DataFlash (bootable, Reserved for soldering)• 1 2*20-pin LCD interface• Touch panel (4-channel 12-bit ADC)• 1 SPI interface• 1 10M/100M Ethernet interface (RJ45)• 3 serial ports (COM0: 3-wire Debug serial port, COM1: 5-wire RS232/TTL serial port, COM2: 5-wire RS232/TTL/RS485 serial port)• 2 USB host and 1 USB device• 4 x 4 keyboard interface• Audio Input/Output Jacks• RTC (battery backed)• SD card socket• LED (CPU working station indicator)• 3 Buttons (two for user defined, one for Reset)• 1 Power switch• 16 GPIOs (10 from CPU, 6 from extension)• BUS interface (with buffer)I've powered them up and they all boot up with a touchscreen calibration screen, I'm not able to do any additional testing so they're 'sold as seen'. Farnell don't stock them now, but they are still lurking on the internet for £250-£300.If you want to donate £20 (or more, or less - your choice) to my Just Giving page then I'll ship one to you. All I ask is that you use PayPal to pay me for shipping (£5 UK, £8 EU or £10 elsewhere) - that makes printing postage labels out so much easier for me.Just Giving page (feel free to tick the Gift Aid boxes if you can)https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Ian-Bailey18PayPalpaypal@toploser.comALL SOLD
