EM-1220 LX User’s Manual
Introduction
Overview
The EM-1220-LX is a mini RISC-based communication platform that is ideal for embedded
applications. The EM-1220-LX supports 2 RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet LAN ports to provide users with a versatile communication platform.
The EM-1220-LX uses the Moxa ART ARM9 RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a
CISC design, the ARM9’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor technology
provide the EM-1220-LX with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but
without generating too much heat. The built-in 8 MB NOR Flash ROM and 16 MB SDRAM give
you plenty storage capacity and an additional SD socket provides you with flexible storage
expansion for running applications. The dual LAN ports built into the ARM9 make the
EM-1220-LX an ideal communication platform for simple data acquisition and protocol
conversion applications, and the two RS-232/422/485 serial ports allow you to connect a variety of
serial devices.
The pre-installed µClinux operating system provides an open software operating system for
software program development. Software written for desktop PCs is easily ported to the
EM-1220-LX with a GNU cross compiler, so that you will not need to spend time modifying
existing software code. The operating system, device drivers, and your own software can all be
stored in the EM-1220-LX’s Flash memory.
