Summary:This paper describes the development and present status of an intelligent device controller for embedded systems. The controller is a low-cost single-board module in Euro-card format based on a Motorola MC68332 microcontroller. An onboard Ethernet interface allows software downloading and remote device control. Also included are 12 ADC channels, 4 DAC channels, 56 bits of digital I/O and 3 serial ports. Custom modules may be added using a backplane bus. The controller is designed to function as a VME slave device. A multitasking environment is provided by the VxWorks kernel.
