Tiny, modular Linux system targets embedded apps
Jun. 13, 2007

Canadian single-board computer (SBC) startup Virtual Cogs has started shipping its first product: a miniature, modular, embeddable, Linux-based computer. The VC21 is comprised of a Freescale i.MX21-powered processor module, along with a dozen stackable, "Cog"-branded daughterboards that add cameras, touchscreens, sound cards, and so on.


The core of the VC21 system is the VCMX212 processor module, which measures 2 x 1.75 inches (50 x 44 mm) -- about half the size of a business-card. It is powered by a Freescale i.MX21, an SoC (system-on-chip) that targets mobile devices such as cordless VoIP phones and portable media players.
