It supports high quality audio and Dolby noise reduction applications.
Graphics core speeds up to 250MHz, provides a wealth of options for using high-resolution displays.
The integrated display controller provides resolution options up to 2048 x 1536 (75Hz refresh frequency) for both analogue and digital displays, and support for multiple interface types (LVDS, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDTV, TV-out, CRT) with HDTV 720p and 1080i display resolution support.
The LV-677 has a Serial ATA storage port, a 1Gbit/s LAN port, six USB 2.0 ports, and two serial ports, configurable as RS232/422/485.
Two variants of the SBC are available.
One is equipped with a standard ATX power-inlet connector.
