The TS-8551 is a complete platform for development, evaluation, and prototyping with the TS-4100 and TS-4400 System on Modules. All signals on the board to board TS-SOCKET connectors are brought out to external connectors on the TS-8551.

With the exception of high-speed signals where it would affect data integrity, all TS-SOCKET connector pins are brought out to standard .1" spacing male headers. In many cases, this allows TS-SOCKET functionality to be proved out before thousands of dollars are invested in hardware prototypes. The pin numbering is clearly labeled on the TS-8551 silkscreen.

Ethernet, USB, SD, and SATA lines are not connected to the pin headers due to signal integrity concerns. Instead, these signals are brought out to standard headers.

The TS-8551 features:

• 1x 10/100 Ethernet Port
• 1x Gigabit Ethernet Port
• TS-SILO Super Capacitors
• 1x M.2 SATA Socket (TS-4400 Only)
• 1x RS-485 Port on DB9 Connector
• 2x RS-232 Ports on DB9 Connector
• 1x CAN Port on DB9 Connector
• 1x USB 2.0 Host Connector
• 1x micro USB OTG Connector
• Push buttons for reset and user programmable function
• Diagnostic LEDs
• Battery Backed Real Time Clock (RTC)
• Toggle Switches for Power and USB Boot
• Jumers for Bootup Options and SBC Power
• 2 KB FRAM
