Embedded motherboard is designed for use in smart digital entertainment devices such as set top boxes, gaming machine, kiosks and media centres.
The unit does not need forced cooling and, despite its compact dimensions, it is a fully featured PC, able to run the Linux operating system from a bootable CompactFlash card or USB memory stick for desktop applications if required.
It conforms to the VESA mounting requirements so that it can be mounted directly on the back of a screen or it can be secured to any convenient points on an enclosure.
The 200MHz x86 CPU has 128Mbyte of RAM, more than enough for many embedded applications.
An internal 2.5in HDD is optionally available; the boot options in the BIOS support booting from USB, CompactFlash or HDD.
A single Ethernet LAN interface and a 1024 x 768 VGA driver are on the motherboard; an RJ45 LAN port, two RS232 COM ports, two USB 2.0 ports, mouse and keyboard, audio in and headphone ports are provided as standard.
A wireless LAN interface can also be specified if the HDD is not required.
The EPC-200 consumes about 15W and is powered from an external mains adapter.
