ISEE (company) is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand ISEE (company) rather than just read about it. In short: ISEE is a European multinational company that designs and manufactures small computer-on-modules (COMs), single-board computers, expansion boards, radars and other embedded systems. The abbreviation of ISEE refers to Integration, Software & Electronics Engineering.

Key takeaways

ISEE (company) belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect ISEE (company) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of ISEE (company) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

ISEE is a European multinational company that designs and manufactures small computer-on-modules (COMs), single-board computers, expansion boards, radars and other embedded systems. The abbreviation of ISEE refers to Integration, Software & Electronics Engineering. Their products are based on the IGEP Technology, the ISEE Generic Enhanced Platform using Texas Instruments OMAP processors. Some of their products, including IGEPv2 and IGEP COM MODULE, are open hardware, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-Share-alike 3.0 unported license.

Products ISEE products have been used in various industrial and commercial projects such automotive and transportation applications, medical devices, vending machines, security and protection, robotics and radar applications under the commercial brand name of IGEP Technology. All IGEP products include pre-installed Linux-based distributions with functional software and other resources such developing tools, IDEs, schematics, mechanical drawings, hardware manuals and software manuals. Other tutorials, articles, FAQs and a public GIT repository are also available by the IGEP Community, a collaborative user support community.

IGEP processor boards

IGEPv2

IGEPv2 was released in 2009. It consists of a low-power, fanless, industrial single-board computer (SBC) based on the Texas Instruments DM3730 ARM Cortex-A8 processor in a 65mm x 95mm board. IGEPv2 was the first open hardware IGEP Processor Board from ISEE and may be used to evaluate IGEP Technology, develop full-fledged product prototypes or can be completely customized by the user thanks to the freely available schematics.

IGEPv5 IGEPv5 was presented in September 2013. It is based on the Texas Instruments OMAP5 SoC, which uses a dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU. IGEPv5 allows additional connectivity via its on-board connectors and can be used to develop applications with advanced multimedia requirements.

IGEP COM PROTON IGEP COM PROTON was released in 2010. It provides the same processor and performance as IGEPv2 but without most of its on-board connectors, so it results in a smaller industrial form factor. There are four connectors of 70 pins for extended connectivity and measures 35mm x 51,2mm.

IGEP COM MODULE IGEP COM MODULE was released in 2010. It measures 18mm x 68,5mm and is the smallest computer-on-module (COM) released by ISEE and features Texas Instruments DM3730. It provides USB OTG, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on-board and two connectors of 70 pins for extended connectivity.

IGEP COM AQUILA IGEP COM AQUILA was released in 2013. It is based on Texas Instruments AM3354 Cortex-A8 CPU and is the first IGEP Processor Board with standard SO-DIMM size format.

IGEP Expansion Boards

IGEPv2 EXPANSION IGEPv2 EXPANSION was released in 2009. It adds connectivity to IGEPv2 Processor Board (RS232, VGA Output, CAN interface and GSM/GPRS Modem).

IGEP PARIS IGEP PARIS was released in 2010. It consists of an Expansion Board for IGEP COM MODULE and IGEP COM PROTON with basic functional connectivity (Ethernet, UARTs, TFT Video interface and USB).

IGEP BERLIN IGEP BERLIN was released in 2010. It is based on IGEP PARIS connectivity with extended connectivity (DVI video, stereo audio in/out, CAN interface, RS485 and other Digital and Analog I/O).

IGEP NEW YORK IGEP NEW YORK is the simplest expansion board for IGEP COM MODULE and IGEP COM PROTON with two 2.54-inch DIP connectors.

IGEP Radar Technology ISEE presented their Radar Technology in 2009. It consists of a 24 GHz band FMCW Radar Technology for IGEPv2 and IGEP COM MODULE, that carry the digital processing and implement the communication with the user system. Later, they manufactured IGEP Radar Lambda, and IGEP Radar Epsilon.

Pre-installed software The pre-installed demo software on all ISEE products consists of:

IGEP X-Loader: a bootloader compatible with all IGEP processor boards IGEP Kernel: a Linux Kernel maintained by ISEE and IGEP community members IGEP Firmware Yocto: a Linux Distribution with an X Window System and GNOME mobile-based applications created with Yocto Platform Builder Additional software and firmware releases can be downloaded prebuilt directly from the IGEP Community GIT repositories or compiled using OpenEmbedded software framework.

Development tools ISEE offers free development tools and resources for developing under IGEP Technology:

IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain: provides all necessary tools like a cross-compiler, embedded libraries, etc. to compile program sources for IGEP devices. IGEP SDK Virtual Machine: a virtual machine that includes all the developer tools for IGEP Technology, which are already installed and configured. IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework: based on TI DVSDK it provides all DSP essential packages and the "gstreamer DSP plugin".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with ISEE (company)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what ISEE (company) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to ISEE (company) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about ISEE (company) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of ISEE (company)

In research: ISEE (company) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses ISEE (company) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: ISEE (company) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies based in Catalonia, Computer hardware companies, Computer systems companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for ISEE (company) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
