The TS-4100 is
Technologic Systems’ first
CoM module that can also
be a stand-alone micro
single-board computer.
When powered from the
onboard micro USB
connector, the TS-4100 does
not require a baseboard to
operate. The system could
be a processing node on a
The TS-4100 FPGA includes a
ZPU core implementation. The ZPU
allows for offloading CPU tasks as
well as harder real time on I/O
interactions. The ZPU is an open
source, 32-bit, stack-based CPU
architecture that offers a full GCC
tool suite.
Inside the TS-4100 FPGA, it’s
given eight kbytes of BlockRAM and
has full access to all FPGA I/O.
Additionally, the CPU has shared
access to the ZPU BlockRAM. This
allows for a larger bi-directional
communication channel between the
ZPU and main CPU TS-4100, and
can be used to reprogram the ZPU
on-the-fly for dynamic applications.
The TS-4100 can be paired with
the TS-8551 development baseboard.
The TS-8551 brings out all of the TS-
4100 connectivity options for
engineers to use in developing their
custom applications.
Additionally, the TS-8551
includes the example circuit for the
TS-SILO technology, an optional
feature which will provide up to 30
seconds of reserve power in the
event of a power failure.
The TS-8551 features:
• 2x RJ45 Connectors for Ethernet
