NComputing Numo3 Datasheet

Project brief:

Numo™ 3

Overview

The Numo family of System-on-Chips (SoCs) are single chip devices that enable OEMs to design high performance, low cost, thin clients and other devices. Numo 3 leverages multiple generations of NComputing Numo technology that is deployed in millions of seats today. By adding support for Citrix HDX, Numo 3 delivers an unmatched level of performance, capability and cost to further propel desktop virtualization into enterprises worldwide.

The Numo 3 device is based on an ARM Cortex A9 Dual-Core processor and includes accelerators for TCP/IP packet processing and cryptographic encryption – ensuring maximum network security with minimal network impact. A powerful Numo codec is also integrated that ooads the processor from CPU intensive video processing functions for HDX client-side rendering and is capable of decoding incoming H.263, H.264, MPEG2/MPEG4, JPEG, VC1 and Sorenson Spark streams of up to 1080P resolution. These advanced graphics features enable support for the wide range of multimedia content demanded by today’s end-users – while optimizing the use of host and network resources.

Standard peripheral ports include two USB 2.0 ports (for mouse, keyboard and other USB peripherals), one of which can be interfaced to an external USB hub if additional ports are required. A USB OTG host port is included for factory programming. The included Ethernet MAC has an interface to an external GMII/MMI 10/100 or Gigabit PHY. Additional ports include stereo audio in/out (via interface to external audio ADC), 8x GPIO pins, 2x Serial UART ports, 2x I2S interfaces, 4x I2C interfaces, a PCI-e (x1) expansion bus, SATA 2 controller, and memory card interface for external SD/MMC cards. This variety of ports enables a wide range of conguration possibilities to serve the special needs of practically any thin client application.
