General Information

The uCsimm module is a microcontroller module built specifically for the uClinux Operating System. It stands an inch high, with a standard 30-pin SIMM form factor. The uCsimm is a perfect microcontroller for embedded systems that require stability, single process functionality, and ethernet capability, in a compact and modular form factor. There are innumerable uses for the uCsimm, but in the past, it has been used as everything from a webserver to a Programmable Logic Controller.
