Introducing the Gumstix Poblano 43C Single Board Computer

The Gumstix^® Poblano 43C is a spicier and more robust single board computer compared to its predecessor, the Gumstix^® Pepper 43C. Sporting an ARM Cortex-A9 core, improved graphics processing and increased on-chip memory, the Poblano's AM438 Processor is faster and more powerful than the Pepper's Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8  based Processor. "Poblano shows off the features of the AM438 Processor and makes it simple to customize for dedicated applications,"  said W. Gordon Kruberg, president and CEO of Gumstix. "At Gumstix, our goal is to create hardware and offer a simple and complete online design-to-order solution so that any designer can launch innovative marketable products."

With its support for a multi-touch Newhaven LCD monitor, a 27-pin parallel connector for a Caspa Camera and Texas Instruments' low-power stereo audio codec, the Poblano can break out video and audio embedded projects. In addition, the 11 x 7.5 cm Poblano single board computer features:

• 8 gigabytes of eMMC memory
• Gigabit ethernet
• 802.11 b/g/n WiFi with access point mode
• Bluetooth BLE
• A 9-axis internal motion sensor
• A 20-pin GPIO header, two flip-side LEDs
• A flip-side push button
• A power connector and backup battery
• A bootable Micro-SD card slot
• Two USB hosts connections
• A Micro-B USB device connections and
• A USB console

Using Geppetto^® D2O within their browser, customers can clone and drop the Gumstix^® Poblano 43C single board computer into the Geppetto^® D2O workspace to jumpstart their design and choose from a library of hundreds of different models in Geppetto^® to customize the Poblano board design.

Once customers are satisfied with their expansion board designs in Geppetto^® D2O, engineers at Gumstix will test and validate the board design, manufacture and ship the production-ready board 15 days from order, reducing both the production and development time for the customer.
