SEGGER brings Internet
services to USB devices
SEGGER announced the release of a complete
USB to Internet solution. This solution uses
the RNDIS USB class. It enables developers to
transform low-end stand-alone products into
connected devices with the same functional-
ity as other devices on a local network. With
an appropriate application server in the firm-
ware of a USB-connected device, any internet
service on the host computer can access it.
Examples include Web, Telnet, FTP or other
application specific services.
Axiomtek: fanless Embedded box
system with 8 GB DDR3L and rich I/O

transportation, POS, kiosk, industrial control
automation and medical equipment.
SYSGO and Kontron show safe
railway platform at InnoTrans
At the Berlin railway technology fair Inno-
Trans, SYSGO and Kontron present a joint
platform for safe rail systems. SYSGO’s hyper-
visor PikeOS is certified to the highest level
SIL 4 of railway safety standard EN 50128 and
runs on the Kontron VX3035 3U Single Board
Computer with Intel Multi-Core i7 processor.
At the booth of Kontron visitors can learn
about the safety-tested platform.
MSI: industrial system with
powerful 4th gen scheme
MSI released a new industrial system, King-
BOX MS-9A66. KingBOX MS-9A66 is a
powerful yet fanless system featuring scal-
ability, ruggedness, and versatile expansion
capability. With powerful, scalable Intel 4th
Gen scheme, KingBOX MS-9A66 meets
demanding performance requirement while
keeps the system cool with its superior heat
radiation design that allows it to work fan-
lessly and reliably.
DAVE: new development kit for
DIVA SOM based on TI AM335x
DAVE Embedded Systems released the latest
DIVA Embedded Linux Kit version 2.0.0 for
the DIVA SOM based on Texas Instruments
AM335x. Diva Embedded Linux Kit provides
all the necessary components required to set
up the developing environment to build the
bootloader, build and run Linux operating
system on Diva-based systems, build Linux
applications that will run on the target.
Amplicon: USB to serial
conversion made easy
In the industrial sector laptop computers are
used as a tool for accessing devices but these
are no longer supplied with an RS-232 inter-
face. As there are still a large number of serial
devices being used in the industrial sector this
can cause problems when trying to connect
to legacy devices. The Moxa UPort 1250 and
1250I from Amplicon are the perfect solution.
Express Logic: pre-ported platforms
simplify ARM-based IoT development
Express Logic has launched X-Ware Platform,
target-specific, integrated development soft-
ware that delivers all X-Ware components
(ThreadX, NetX, USBX, FileX, GUIX, and
TraceX) pre-ported and fully integrated for
use on specific development boards. Express
Logic has tailored its initial X-Ware Platform
offerings to the ARM developer commu-
nity. By integrating its high-quality, widely
respected ThreadX RTOS and middleware

across the fat pipe or extended fat pipe region
for x4 or x8 ports.
Axiomtek: IoT gateway solution
with anti-vibration design
Axiomtek introduces ICO300, an industrial
gateway for IoT solution. With din-rail, fan-
less and rugged design, this ideal embedded
system utilizes low power new 22nm Intel
Atom processor E3815 (1.46 GHz) and sup-
ports DDR3L system memory maximum up
to 4GB, delivering high performance at com-
petitive price. This intelligent Intel Atom-
based IoT gateway solution supports complete
expandability and features, including wireless
support, four RS-232/422/485 ports, two iso-
lated Gigabit Ethernet ports, two high-speed
USB 2.0 ports, RTC battery function, and
