Mobile Computing Platform for Industrial Use

The Limestone PDA Design Kit meets the frequent requests for an industrial handheld computer. The unique platform approach drives innovation, offers enhanced performance of customer-specific PDAs for a variety of different applications, and enables a significant reduction in the time to market. In contrast to any available consumer device, Limestone was specifically developed to meet industrial requirements. Components were selected from embedded product lines to guarantee the longest possible product life-time. Available with an optional LCD display, Li-Ion battery and front/back cover plate, the Limestone PDA Design Kit serves as standardized yet versatile platform to easily build a custom specific PDA, HMI, MMI, or handheld/portable computer.

Based on Proven Colibri Technology

Toradex’ Colibri computer modules are being used by more than 1000 companies worldwide. The Limestone Platform is based on the latest Colibri module featuring the high performance XScale® PXA320. This guarantees a very stable and well tested core hardware and software. Updates of the Colibri’s operating system will also be automatically available for the Limestone PDA Platform.

Customized Solutions

The Limestone platform consists of two separate PCBs. All on board features are implemented on the main board. A rich board-to-board extension interface offers plenty of options to add a second board inside the PDA with customer-specific electronics, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GSM, GPRS, GPS, Camera, RFID, Barcode Scanners or even specific sensors to measure acceleration or orientation. All operating system images contain drivers for the most common interfaces and can be easily customized by registry settings to adapt to the specific hardware.

Dedicated Housing

Front and back cover can be adapted to meet customer specific requirements, from a slick to a ruggedized design, for in- or outdoor usage.
