Cogent designs and manufactures the CSB2xx series of Single Board Computers oriented towards Software Development use and the CSB3xx series of Single Board Computers oriented towards OEM use (although still quite capable in the software development role). These cost effective boards provide the user with a multitude of features.

CSB3xx OEM Board Overview:

Standard with most Cogent CSB3xx Single Board Computers are:

• 32Mbyte SDRAM and 8Mbyte FLASH.
• Battery-Backed Real Time Clock (RTC) via 2-Wire I/F.
• JTAG Debug Header.
• 320x240 or better Color LCD Controller.
• 10/100 Ethernet Interface.
• Two RS-232 Serial Ports Minimum.
• Dual CAN Controller or Dual RS485 Serial I/O.
• SD/MMC Card via SPI or SDIO.
• Battery-Backed Real Time Clock (RTC) via 2-Wire I/F.
• USB Host or Device (CPU dependant, accessed via Breakout Board).
• Compact Flash Interface (CPU dependant, accessed via Breakout Board).
• AC'97 Codec Interface (CPU dependant, accessed via Breakout Board).
• CPU Address, Data and GPIO Busses available via .1" Headers on .1" Grid.
• Single 5V Power Requirement.
• Compact Size, most are 3.2" x 3.5".
• Very Low Cost, starting at just $299!.
• Open Source Boot ROM (MicroMonitor by Ed Sutter).
• Breakout Boards are supplied with a 9-Pin Serial Cable, Ethernet Cable, Documentation with Schematics (Breakout Board only) and a 5V Universal Input Power Supply with US Power Cord.

Additionally, the CSB3xx series provide a high degree of commonality in their pin outs. This allows for the use of standardized Breakout Boards. The breakout boards start with the low cost CSB300 (See Photo) which has little more than the various interface connectors (DB-9, RJ45, USB, etc.) and include more sophisticated breakout boards such as the CSB301. The CSB301 offers all the CSB300 has plus Audio Codec (AC'97), Compact Flash Interface, Logic Analyzer Headers, PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse, and an optional 5.7" QVGA (320x240) Color LCD with Touch Screen. Any CSB3xx SBC can work with any Breakout Board, although not all CSB3xx boards will be able to take advantage of all Breakout Board features.

• 64Mbyte SDRAM and 32Mbyte FLASH.
• Battery-Backed Real Time Clock (RTC) via 2-Wire I/F.
• JTAG Debug Header.
• 640x480 or better Color LCD Controller.
• 10Mbit Ethernet Interface or better.
• PS2 Keyboard and Mouse Ports.
• Two RS-232 Serial Ports Minimum.
• Expansion via Compact FLASH (CF+) or PCI Interface.
• Single 5V Power Requirement.
• Compact Size, most are 5" x 7".
• Low Cost, starting at just $1,195 (US List).
• Open Source Boot ROM (Micro Monitor by Ed Sutter).
• 9-Pin Serial Cable, Ethernet Cable, Documentation with Schematics and 5V Universal Input Power Supply with US Power Cord.
