CFA910 ARM Single Board Computer with E Ink Display running Linux OS

Spokane Valley, WA - Crystalfontz America, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of their CFA910, an ARM based Single Board Computer (SBC) with E Ink Display running Linux OS. This new module uses E Ink Holding Corporation's Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology to provide developers and OEMs with an easy to use e-paper platform.

With it's ultra-thin profile, Ethernet, USB and serial connectivity, super low energy consumption due to the zero power 6 inch diagonal E Ink display, and full programmability inherited from the open source Linux operating system, the CFA910 brings a new level of custom design capability for manufacturers and product designers in need of a high resolution, low power display.

Despite being the size of a vacation postcard, the CFA910 is a powerful computing device built with an ARM microprocessor, 128MB of DDR2 SDRAM and large capacity SD card storage. Crystalfontz has also turned the engineer's task of writing data to the E Ink display into easy lifting, with abstracted drivers and commands that save developers from having to learn the intricacies of the Broadsheet EPD controller language.

The CFA910 is available with an optional touchscreen and expansion/development board.

Crystalfontz is a leading provider of display modules used in embedded, handheld, and rack-mount systems. To learn more about the CFA910, see high resolution photos and get pricing, visit the Crystalfontz website at:

The music is the classic Muzak from the Blues Brothers elevator scene in the Cook county courthouse: The Girl from Ipanema

ah, i wondered what, at 1:30, the white blob above the serial port is: then it hit me: that's the the back of the tiny usb wifi adapter snuggled into the usb slot! then it disappears for the rest of the video.

[yodrewyt]

of course it does much more than combine a word processor with a screen that holds perfectly still--something i've been looking for for 15 years--but that's the important part of it to me. as writing is the most important activity in our culture, i regard what you have done here as the most important technological development since the personal computer. THANK YOU!
