| Overview |
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.
This standard development kit, 101-1284, 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 applications. 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.
