PC6-TANGO • CompactPCI
®
PlusIO • Intel® Atom™ E39xx Processor (APL-I SoC)
CFast™
The PC6-TANGO is provided with a CFast™ host connector, for user replaceable mass storage. It is
suitable for CFast™ 2.0 cards, which have the same dimensions as CompactFlash™ cards, but are
operated in SATA mode. Industrial CFast™ SSD cards are available up to 256GByte as of current. The
SATA channel available on the CFast™ socket is derived directly from the APL-I SoC. A CFast™ card can
be used as boot device (i.e. OS installation) in most applications.
e•MMC
The PC6-TANGO can be equipped with an Embedded Multi-Media Card (e•MMC) as an option. This
is a fast Flash based storage solution which has been proved in mobile devices. The chip is soldered
directly to the board, with a capacity of 64GByte as of current. The interface is specified by a Jedec
standard, and is directly controlled from the APL-I SoC. The e•MMC may be useful for permanent
data storage and small OS installation, since its 8-bit data bus is operated in a high speed mode
(HS400) for sequential read up to 250MBps.
Micro SD Card
For removable data storage, the PC6-TANGO provides a Micro SD Card socket, accessible through the
front panel. Industrial Micro SDHC cards are available up to 32GByte, sufficient for permanent data
storage at reasonable transfer speed in many applications. The Micro SD Card socket is controlled
immediately by the APL-I SoC (SDIO I/F).
