ThinkCore W315/325/W345 Hardware User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The ThinkCore W315/W325/W345 wireless embedded computers are designed around the MOXA
ART ARM9 32-bit RISC processor. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a CISC design, the MOXA
ART ARM9 uses RISC architecture and modern semiconductor technology to provide a powerful
computing engine without generating a significant amount of heat. The processor also integrates
UART and LAN functions to provide exceptional communication performance, but without the
bus bandwidth limitations associated with general ARM-based communication products.
An onboard NOR Flash ROM and SDRAM provide ample storage capacity, and the SD slot gives
applications extra room to expand. The built-in GSM/GPRS function supports the
850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequency bands, providing coding scheme from CS-1 to CS-4. The
backup LAN port not only provides an alternative solution for networking, but also supports
Ethernet clients, allowing any network device to plug in and connect to the GPRS network. The
built-in RS-232/422/485 serial ports support a wide range of serial devices, making this platform
suitable for data acquisition and protocol conversion applications.
The Linux-based operating system comes pre-installed and ready to run, providing an open
platform for software development. Software written for desktop PCs can be ported easily to
W300 series embedded computers by using a common complier, so you do not need to spend a lot
of time modifying existing software code. In addition, the operating system, device drivers, and
user-developed software can all be stored in the built-in flash memory.
