Introduces the CM-i686 (686CORE) - Tiny Embedded PC module
|
HAIFA,
ISRAEL – NOVEMBER 15, 2002 – CompuLab
introduced today the CM-i686 - a tiny module implementing a complete Embedded PC measuring
68 x 58 mm. Based on National Semiconductor's Geode CPU, the functional content of the module is equivalent to a
Pentium-II class desktop computer. The CM-i686 fills the gap between
the low cost CM-i586 and the
high performance CM-i786. The CM-i686 delivers more performance and functions per dollar, relative to any
other product introduced so far. For many applications, such as
set-top boxes, gaming machines and hand-held appliances, where
display interface is mandatory, the CM-i686 provides the best cost-effective solution.About the CM-i686 module
The CM-i686 comprises a NS Geode CPU at 266 MHz with FPU, MMX and integrated graphics
controller, SDRAM, Flash Disk, 100Mb ethernet, USB, sound, serial ports, infrared interface, general purpose I/O,
real-time clock, PS/2 keyboard and mouse controller, parallel port,
and interfaces to floppy and hard disks. Many of the above-mentioned
contents are optional and are included according to the
application's requirements.
The CM-i686 has integrated ISA, PCI and LPC buses for interface to
off-board expansions. The module is
designed for either stand-alone operation (using SB-i686)
or for piggy-back attachment to a carrier card via two
miniature 180-pin connectors.
Pricing and
Availability
The CM-i686 module is available today, and is priced
starting at $108 for 10K -unit quantities (or $120 for 1K units). Evaluation Kits are also
available from CompuLab.
