Abstract

The paper deals with a number of problems related to implementation of embedded systems that use single-board computers. These considerations are carried out on a specific model of such a computer, namely DIMM-PC. Actually, this computer is a power-saving and a comprehensive implementation of a typical PC computer, equipped with a `hard disk´ emulated on FLASH memory units and assembled on a PCB with extremely small dimensions. In spite of small dimensions, its processing capacities are pretty large, which makes the system useful for implementation of embedded systems, perfectly suitable for field control with communication via RS232/485, or Ethernet distributed networks.
