FlowDrive Embedded Press Release

March/2011

DSPRobotics launch ‘FlowDrive’ the Embedded Solution for the FlowStone Programming Language


UK based DSPRobotics, further expand their embedded product support by releasing FlowDrive a pre-installed bootable solid-state hard drive using Windows Embedded.

Using the FitPC 2i from Compulab DSPRobotics now have an off the shelf solution for users of the FlowStone graphical programming language to make their own OEM embedded products.
The FIT PC (FlowStone Integrated Technology) is a miniature fanless totally silent PC using an Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor. It is a complete PC system, including 1Gb RAM, 2 x Gigabit Lan, Wifi, Comport, 4 x USB, DVI  (Digital video out), audio in and out, mini SD etc. This is ideal for Robotics and industrial applications where size and weight are important. In order to make the  FIT PC work with FlowStone we have now released 'FlowDrive' which is a 8Gb solid State Hard Drive (no moving parts) pre-installed with Windows Embedded. This boots directly into your application on the FIT PC Mini SD memory card allowing easy transfer of test applications.
Using Windows Embedded the boot times of the fully working OS have been reduced to around 10 seconds making the Fit PC and FlowDrive and ideal candidate for Embedded PC solutions.

Applications include:
    •Stand alone autonomous robotics
    •Embedded Control systems
    •Rapid prototype development
    •Mechatronics Systems
    •Information Terminals
    •Home automation systems
    •Security Systems
    •Data Logging
    •Test and Measurement
    •Education
    •And many more...
