Industrial reference platform for Intel® Atom™ processor >

Do you need to marry the power and performance of the Intel® Atom™ processor with a flexible hardware platform and an Altera* FPGA ? Are you designing PLCs, HMIs, industrial PCs or other industrial controllers? Do you need industrial Ethernet and fieldbus connectivity, a PLC runtime environment and a range of industrial I/Os?

Remote Lab lets you explore the Gleichmann Hpe* system, an expandable baseboard supporting a Qseven* module with the Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx CPU, two child board connectors for custom logic implementations and a set of peripheral interfaces.

Gleichmann Electronics Research uses Intel® Atom™ to achieve low-power and high-performance in industrial automation applications.

Intel® Atom™ Processor E660 with Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T Development kit (formerly Crown Bay) >

Do you want firsthand experience with the benefits of Intel® Software Development Tools for Intel® Atom™ processors in embedded systems?

Remote Lab lets you access a pre-installed, ready-to-go Linux* host system based Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx Series with Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T. Use a JTAG debugger to debug system software, kernel and drivers, run benchmarks, and share critical issues with Intel Tools Consulting Engineers.

Virtual workshop

Workshop RLVT001: Low Impact Performance Sampling and Analyzing the Application Under Moblin* with Intel® Software Products This Remote Lab workshop will introduce you to the Intel® Application Software Development Tool Suite for Intel® Atom™ processor and how it can be used to optimize performance. File Type/Size:  PDF 229KB Version:  001 : July 2010

Using a Web browser, remote lab users can establish a secure connection (VPN tunnel) to isolated subnets and machines that are preinstalled for their accounts in Intel’s Labs.

When a connection is established, remote lab users get secure shell (SSH) for Linux*, Windows Remote Desktop*, and KVM (“keyboard-video-mouse”) access to the system under test (SUT) over the VPN tunnel. This provides full control over the SUT, including the BIOS and OS boot process.

The virtual media feature of the KVM appliance lets you attach any USB CD or hard disk drive on your side of the VPN and connect directly to a USB port on the SUT.

A Control Center with control and connectivity options lets you reset or power-cycle the SUT through a Web interface. A motorized pan-and-tilt Web-Cam provides you with a real-time view of the SUT and its screen in the lab.
