Product Brief Revision: p180418

Imsys EMBLA is suitable for industrial applications as well as battery-powered IoT applications, and it can be tailored to your specific needs – by Imsys or your own design team. Examples of customizations include: • Battery efficiency through a code optimization

process • Adapted form factor • Screen selection – none, 4.3 or 7-inch screen • Choice of RF communication and I/Os.

Develop your application on EMBLA and use the production-ready reference design for initial production. If desired, Imsys offers assistance in adapting I/O boards according to your specifications, from design to production. EMBLA baseboards can also be used as standalone micro controllers with a display interface, SD-card reader and I/O through the 80-pins mezzanine connector – en-abling a unique customer solution adapted for specific requirements.

Imsys EMBLA™Multipurpose Display Module and IoT Development Platform

HardwareImsys EMBLA comprises a color touchscreen, an I/O-card, and a baseboard that includes an Imsys Velox microcontroller module with the IM3000 microprocessor.

The block diagram shows the main parts of the processor IC as well as the main auxiliary compo-nents on the Velox module PCB.

Microcode inside the core controls processor logic and hardware resources as well as providing the abstraction layer used by the software.

EMBLA’s architecture enables acceleration of CPU-intensive tasks by orders of magnitude. Functions like jar file unpacking, garbage collection, bytecode interpretation, encryption, Ethernet MAC and audio/video processing are included in the internal microcode. This allows the processor to handle combinations of tasks that otherwise would require more silicon and consume more power.

Imsys Java Virtual Machine (JVM)Applications for Imsys EMBLA are usually developed in machine-independent Java code, without the need for a software development kit. Imsys JVM is an efficient virtual machine for Java Micro Edition (JME). The lower platform-dependent components – invisible to the programmer – have been adapted and optimized for the hardware. This includes execution of JVM bytecode, which removes much of the extra CPU load often caused by Java (compared to C/C++ usage).

The Java application programming interface is Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) version 1.0, with an additional subset of JDK 1.1.8 and the javax.comm package. A number of Imsys- specific classes that give Java applications access to system resources are also available.

Imsys Developer (SDK)Imsys Developer is an integrated development environment for programming, debugging and maintenance of Imsys-processor-based systems. It contains a text editor, compiler, assembler, linker, loader, simulator, debugger/tracer, graphical event analyzer, a software profile management tool, and an extensive help system. All functions necessary for development are included. A project is created, the program is compiled, and resulting files are collected and transferred to the target system where the target application is run and debugged.

For a defined processor version and I/O configuration, the target platform is defined by installing a specif-ic profile package containing libraries, header files, microprograms, etc. A trace adapter connects the computer to the target system, typically Imsys EMBLA.
