Third Party Hardware List
We've used many third party devices with our StrongARM family of products. Devices include a host of PCMCIA cards; 802.11b wireless Ethernet; GPS receivers; CDPD, CDMA and POTS modems; Ricochet cards; and more.
We regularly test new products on the market, but have found that products on the consumer market change often. Worse, we have found that the internal electronics of consumer devices with the same product number will change without notice. For each device that you integrate into your system, make sure that you have a validation test that confirms that the device will meet your product requirements.
ADS maintains careful version control of its products, and offers configuration management services for production volume customers.
We do not currently maintain a list of validated devices. However, the following products are ones that we have found work reliably with our single board computers.
Edited by akidder 19-May-2005: Remove the following text from the post:
We (or one of our customers) have used every device on the list with at least one ADS product and operating system, which means there's a good chance it will work with your application. Obsolete list, last updated 4 March 2002 (pdf)

#NE2000
NE2000-compatible Ethernet cards
NE2000 is a standard to which an entire generation of Ethernet devices was built. Both Linux and Windows CE readily work with NE2000-compatible PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards, so it's always handy to have one of them around.
Here are a few NE2000 cards we know about:- Compex LinkPort Enet-A and Enet-B (PCMCIA)
- LinkSys EC2T (PCMCIA)
These are currently stocked and available at reasonably low prices. Take a look at epinions.com for current prices and availability.

Diminishing Availability of 802.11b Cards
Manufacturers appear to be dropping their 802.11b product lines in favor of 802.11g cards. 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b networks and cards, albeit with reduced throughput.
Keep this market trend in mind as you design wireless Ethernet into your product. |
