Development kit for memory tokens
4 March 2009
Design Automation
Datakey Electronics has released a new development kit for its award-winning line of NFX Managed-Memory Tokens.
The development kit supports the latest release of the NFX family of tokens and includes an improved sample application, with source code which illustrates how to use each of the commands included in the DLL. Also new is a command line utility that allows for simplified testing and configuration of the NFX tokens’ unique OEM and security features.
The NFX line of tokens provides OEMs with a rugged, portable data carrier solution without the shortcomings of consumer-style memory devices. Capacities range from 128 MB to 1 GB. The tokens feature solid over-moulded construction and IP-rated receptacle options, which allows them to operate reliably in harsh environments.
Designed for OEMs requiring long-term availability, the tokens have an internal file management system that allows embedded developers to access the memory using high-level commands that are guaranteed to be stable over time. Typical applications for the NFX Tokens include data logging, firmware updates, parameter uploads/cloning, data transport, etc.
The development kit provides documentation on how to develop applications for both embedded and PC platforms. Because the NFX has both SPI and USB interfaces, it can interface with an embedded microprocessor through its SPI bus and/or with a PC or embedded computer through its USB bus. This provides an effective form of data transport in environments where networking is impractical or impossible.
The NFX development kit includes two NFX tokens, two mating receptacles (one panel mount and one PCB mount), software CD, user manuals and an NFX memory interface box with USB cable. The software CD includes all documentation, a sample software application with source code and drivers and a command line utility for testing and configuration.
