Introduction
GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ V7865 features additional capabilities beyond those of
a typical desktop computer system. The unit provides four software-controlled,
general-purpose timers along with a programmable Watchdog Timer for
synchronizing and controlling multiple events in embedded applications. The V7865
also provides a bootable CompactFlash system and 32KB of non-volatile SRAM. Also,
the V7865 supports an embedded intelligent VME bridge to allow compatibility with
the most demanding VME applications. These features make the unit ideal for
embedded applications, particularly where standard hard drives and floppy disk
drives cannot be used.
