86Duino is an open-source embedded platform based on Vortex86EX SoC, easy-to-use hardware and software integrated. This Arduino-compatible board can support many x86 O/S as well as those running on the original Arduino base system.
The 86Duino is a high performance and fully static 32-bit x86 processor board compatible with Windows OS, Linux and most popular 32-bit RTOS. It integrates PCIE bus, DDR3, ROM controller, xISA, I2C, SPI, IPC (Internal Peripheral Controllers with DMA and interrupt timer/counter included), Fast Ethernet, FIFO UART, USB2.0 and SD/SATA controller within a single package to form a system-on-a-chip (SOC).
SOM-128-EX is a subtype of an embedded system and more likely an extension concept of system on chip. The reason we specially design this is that we understand what the difficult part of developing a new system is. Usually, a tailored system for a special application would involve high overhead cost; however, if one adopts SOM, one can easily implement the already laid out pins of I/Os and connectors for consumers who want a customized system without committing months of design and paperwork.
