Embedded device server

Digi International has introduced the Digi Connect ME 9210, an embedded device server and latest addition to the Digi Connect ME family.

The device enables OEMs to add secure ethernet connectivity to their products and is faster, includes more memory and has more peripheral interfaces than any other device server.

It offers customers high speed and memory with a 75 MHz ARM9 processor, 8 MB RAM and 2 or 4 MB flash.

It also features peripheral interfaces including serial, SPI, I²C, GIO, CAN, 1-wire and integrated flexible interface modules.

FIMS provide custom interfaces for tailoring the module to the users’ needs.

The server is claimed to be the first embedded module to feature an integrated, NIST-certified AES accelerator that provides secure network communication with SSL/TLS and IPsec protocols.

The accelerator encrypts and decrypts data streams up to 10 times faster than software-only and provides strong data privacy for any user information stored or transmitted by the module.

The device also features power functionality, including power-over-ethernet (PoE) support to allow the design of devices that require no external power; and a complete set of hardware and software features for product designs that demand low power consumption and advanced power management.
