ChipworkX™
is a combination of hardware (ARM9 Processor,
Flash, RAM, Ethernet PHY...etc) on a small (67.6mm x47mm)
OEM board MINI9261I with SO-DIMM200 slot that hosts
Microsoft .NET Micro Framework with various PAL/HAL
drivers. In addition to the benefits of the .NET Micro
Framework, ChipworkX™ includes exclusive software and
hardware features.
The ChipworkX™ Module is a vastly sophisticated piece of
hardware. This complexity provides the end-user with a
remarkably simple platform to implement in any hardware
design. Looking at the ChipworkX™ Development System
schematic shows just how simple it really is. All you need is 3.3
volts and some connections to bring the latest technologies to
your products. With manageable features like USB host,
database and WiFi, the possibilities are boundless.
What is Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework?
Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework extends the advantages
of .NET and Visual Studio to a class of smaller, less expensive,
and more resource-constrained devices than the .NET
Compact Framework or the standard .NET framework.
Extended Framework Features
The ChipworkX™ module supports a complete set of .NET
Micro Framework features such as TCP/IP, SSL, FAT, USB
device and many more. In addition, it supports many other
exclusive GHI features, for example, full USB host stack
(access thumb drives, mice, keyboards, printers and many
other devices), PPP, GPRS, 3G...etc. Furthermore,
ChipworkX™ supports the SQLite database, allowing fast
logging and retrieving of standard SQL queries.
Runtime Loadable Procedure (RLP)
A very useful and unique feature in ChipworkX™ is allowing
users to load their own compiled native code (C or assembly)
and run it directly through the managed Micro Framework.
Similar to the use of DLLs on PCs and usually used to
implement high-processing and time-critical routines.

SideShow Support
The ChipworkX™ module is ideal for
SideShow devices.
