Hardware

Specifications:

• Powered by Tibbo OS (TiOS).
• 10/100BaseT auto-MDIX Ethernet port (no magnetics):
  • Connect any suitable external jack and magnetics; or
  • Combine the EM1206 with the RJ203 jack/magnetics front-end.
• Optional Wi-Fi interface (requires the WA2000 add-on module).
• Can control a 4G/LTE modem* (such as the SIM7500).
• Four high-speed serial ports (CMOS):
  • Baudrates of up to 921,600bps;
  • None/even/odd/mark/space parity modes;
  • 7 or 8 bits/character;
  • Full-duplex mode with RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF flow control;
  • Half-duplex mode with direction control;
  • Encoding and decoding of Wiegand and clock/data streams.
• 17 general-purpose I/O lines; 8 lines can work as interrupts.
• Square wave output (can be used for buzzer* control).
• 4 synchronous serial ports with SPI and I2C modes.
• Supports LCD and OLED panels*.
• Supports matrix and binary output keypads*.
• RTC with dedicated backup power input.
• 22KB SRAM for Tibbo BASIC/C variables and data.
• 1MB flash memory for TiOS, application code, and file system.
• 2048-byte EEPROM for data storage.
• Four status LEDs onboard:
  • Green and red main status LEDs;
  • Yellow Ethernet link LED;
  • Green 100Mb LED.
• Two control lines for attaching external green and red main status LEDs.
• Software-controlled PLL for selecting high or low speed.
• Reliable power-on/ brown-out reset circuit.
• Power: 230mA @ 3.3V (100Base-T mode, full speed).
• Dimensions (LxWxH): 33.4 x 18.1 x 4.2mm.
• Dimensions with RJ203 (LxWxH): 34.4 x 20.0 x 15.5mm.
• Operating temperature range: -40 ~ +70°C.
• Firmware is upgradeable through the serial port or network.
• Tibbo BASIC/C application can be debugged through the Ethernet LAN.
• CE- and FCC- certified.

*Must be connected externally.
