uC53281-EVM
embedded voice module

The uC53281EVM module is a hardware platform designed to help developers enable high-quality SIP based VoIP products without having to become media, audio and signaling experts. The software package for the module (available with the kit) features a complete VoIP and Management Middleware system and an open source uClinux BSP. The module integrates into end product by using a simple 50 pin connector and includes all necessary subsystems to support full duplex audio, network, I/O and serial connections with minimal external circuitry.
