Development kit puts SBC on the game
A new development kit for Densitron's latest DPX-114 Connectbus-II single board computer includes everything needed to get up and running in minimal time.
SBC handles secure transactions
The DPX-114 single board computer is a powerful, highly integrated motherboard designed to meet a wide range of needs.
This includes the advanced Mobility Radeon 9000 with 64Mbyte of high-speed DDR memory and DirectX 8.1 support, capable of independently driving multiple high-resolution 3D displays straight from the board.
The ConnectBus II range of SBCs have a single connector for all I/O and power, ensuring that, in the unlikely event of a failure, downtime is minimised.
Densitron's new DirectPCI system integrates much of the customised hardware that a gaming machine requires onto the motherboard, including: modular digital I/O and BACTA/ccTalk/HII connections; dual independent battery-backed SRAM banks for storing game configuration data; bootable ROMs for creating completely reliable solid state systems; and a new hardware logging system to protect your system from intrusion.
Security has been greatly strengthened with the introduction of SecureBoard-II, with multiple levels of rock-solid protection built-in to ensure that the game will only run on the manufacturer's hardware, and that the hardware will only run a valid game code.
Densitron's new "complete platform" approach to gaming hardware allows game manufacturers to stop worrying about the hardware, operating system and drivers, freeing them to do what they do best: creating innovative and dynamic games.
The DPX-114 is available with a guarantee of supply to ensure that manufacturers are not susceptible to the 6-month product cycle of the PC and graphics card industry, and can design and gain approvals for their product with confidence, and keep the software images constant for the life of the product, easing maintenance issues completely.
