, as component supply allows.
- The Gumstix Verdex Pro series has been developed to replace the Verdex series in time for the EOL of the 120-pin connector that is used on the Verdex series, which has been
discontinued by Molex.
The Verdex Pro COMs are similar to the Verdex COMs except that:
- The Verdex Pro COMs use an 80-pin connector on one side insead of the120-pin connector.
- The inter-board distance of the Verdex
Pro to an 80-pin expansion board is 3 mm as compared to
the 2.5mm inter-board
distance of the Verdex COM to a 120-pin expansion board.
- The Verdex Pro COMs
have a microSD card slot on-board.
- For customers moving from Verdex to Verdex Pro, some code changes may be required to accomodate the different expansion boards and on-board microSD card slot.
The Verdex Pro product line is based on the PXA270
processor. Gumstix Engineers included the best of the basix, connex and
verdex products in the verdex pro with as much backward compatibility
as could reasonably be attained.
As of January 2009, Gumstix has been advised by our distributor that Marvell will be selling the PXA 270 processor at least until 2014.
