Adlink Technology has released a new small form factor (SFF) rugged single board computer (SBC), the Ampro by Adlink CoreModule 740, which is a PC/104-Plus module based on the Intel Atom processor N450, running at 1.66GHz.
The company said that the CoreModule 740 takes advantage of the Atom’s two-chip offering architecture with integrated memory and graphics controllers. It combines legacy I/O interfaces including ISA, IDE, serial and parallel ports, with on-board video, 1GB of soldered RAM, USB 2.0 and PCI bus.
The PC/104-Plus stackable form factor allows OEMs in military, avionics, transportation, data logging, portable computing and other rugged markets to add Intel Architecture controller to their systems without the need for a custom carrier board. The CoreModule 740 also provides an upgrade path for the broad base of existing PC/104 system designs, the company said.
Adlink Technology said CoreModule 740 is developed with the Ampro by Adlink Extreme Rugged design methodology that enables operation at temperatures from -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C, vibration up to 11.95Grms, and shock up to 50Grms. It also features 16-bit ISA bus and PCI 32-bit bus.
In addition, the CoreModule 740 offers legacy CRT support and supports many operating systems including VxWorks, Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, Linux and QNX. On-board I/O includes one IDE port, two RS-232 serial ports, four USB 2.0 ports, parallel port, and PS/2 keyboard/mouse.
