Product Overview
Introduction
The EDM6070AR-01 is an ARM based Single Board Computer (SBC),
designed & developed by element14. It comprises of a 7” LC D displ ay an d
touch screen assembly, integrated with multi-functional embedded
hardware based on Atmel’s ARM9 AT91SAM9X35 industrial processor.
The EDM6070AR-01 is a fully integrated Embedded Display Module
solution for variety of embedded control HMI applications, ready to drop
into your product with negligible integration effort, OR to just wrap an
enclosure around, add a software application and become your finished
product. EDM6070 is designed to fulfil the different requirements of
various HMI applications including industrial control terminals, intelligent
inst rument s, data acquisition and analysi s, m e dical products, an d ne t work
terminals.
EDM6070AR-01 consists of three parts: a MINI6935 CPU core module, an
expansion board, and a 7-inch TFT LCD (800×480) with resistive touch
screen.
MINI6935 CPU module is an ARM embedded board, integrated
with the ATMEL ARM926EJ-S-based processor AT91SAM9X35,
operating at 400MHz frequency. The board has 128MB DDR2
SDRAM, 256MB NAND Flash, 4MB DataFlash, 4KB two-wire
EEPROM.
The Base Board expands the rich set of connectivity and user
interface peripheral s of Atmel AT91SAM9X35 incl uding Ethernet and
CAN interface. The board also has TFT touch screen LCD interface,
USB hosts/device, Buzzer, RS232, RS485, Audio, GPIOs and SD
card interf ace to allow large storage capabilitie s.

LCD Touchscreen Display is a 4-wire resistive touchscreen TFT
LCD display with a display resolution of up to 800x480 with 24-bit
colour depth.
The EDM6070AR-01 includes Linux BSP and supports the Linux QT GUI
(Graphical User Interface) and m ultiple file systems li k e , F AT , NT F S e t c . It
is also supplied with a Smart Home demo application (include smart-led
controller, weather controller, video) and a number of example
applications to give you a quick and easy start.
