The FOX Board LX832 Zoom image
|
FOX Board runs a real Linux operating system (not a uC Linux) on an ETRAX 100LX microprocessor, a 100MIPS RISC CPU made by Axis Communications.
FOX Board has two main field applications:
Two USB 1.1 host interfaces can be connected to USB memory stick, hard disk, webcam, modem, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth dongle, ADSL adapter, Serial converter, etc. Through the 10/100 ethernet interface it is possible to have access to the internal Web server, FTP server, SSH, Telnetd and the complete TCP/IP stack. Two 40 pins sockets step 2.54mm (0.1") are available to plug the board on application specific carrier or add-on boards (See: Extension boards). On these pins are available a lot of signals as explained below.

Extension socket lines Default pinout configuration |
On either side of the Fox board it is possible to solder
two 20x2 pin strip connectors step 2.54mm (0.1") to put the FOX Board over
an application board or move signals to another board using normal 40 pin flat cables.
A lot of peripherals can be connected to the FOX Board using these signals and hardware adapters when needed:
See the techinical documentation available on the documentation index to know more.
All the signal lines on the extension sockets need mechanical and/or electrical adapters to be used.
(*) With no usb or other devices connected (**) Not all the signals on the extension sockets can be used at the same time. The peripheral signals configuration depends on Kernel setup and line assignments. (***) The serial ports on Axis are four: 1 asynchronous port is already used as console (/dev/ttyS0) and it is not available on the extension sockets but only on the console connector J10; 1 other port (/dev/ttyS1) is in common with the USB1 port, the other 2 ports are completely available (/dev/tty2 and /dev/tty3). One of these can be configured also as RS485 or synchronous. |
