General Overview

Sophia Systems' own Sandgate 3 Reference Design supports Marvell's (formerly Intel's) newest processor PXA320 (codenamed Monahans) based on third generation Intel XScale® architecture. This reference board enables you to develop the software at the same time as the hardware is being developed, greatly reducing your overall system development time. With the Monahans processor installed, the Sandgate 3 reference design includes all the peripherals necessary for the development of Handheld devices and provides an excellent design base for your actual system.

The Sandgate 3 supports Windows®CE 5.0, with 6.0 & Linux board support packages (BSP) coming soon. Windows Mobile 5.0 available for key accounts (please contact us for more information). The schematic, part list, CPLD code (source and binary) are also included so development and customization is easier then ever. The Sandgate 3 comes with a BBU (Board Bring Up) Program installed.

For writing to Flash, a limited version of our EJ-Writer is included as part of of the development kit. This allows for high-speed and stable downloading to the NAND Flash embedded on the Sandgate 3 board.
