The Cheetah is a PC/104-Plus embedded computer based on a powerful 1.6GHz Pentium M processor.
The board was developed after considerable research and testing with lead-free components, solder, and new manufacturing processes.
In addition, VersaLogic worked closely with its vendors to evaluate and certify the plating of all components in order to address tin whisker concerns in long-term applications.
This board is targeted at vehicular/aircraft controls, medical equipment and other OEM applications in the European market.
It is especially suited for embedded control applications requiring a very small footprint, which the 3.55 x 3.775in board provides.
As it does not include onboard video circuitry, it is most applicable to headless applications in process monitoring, data acquisition, communications routing or safety monitoring of critical systems.
The Lynx features the AMD Elan SC520 processor, an x86-compatible (486-class) CPU.
Standard onboard features include 64Mbyte soldered-on SDRAM, four COM ports, Ethernet, IDE, LPT, two counter/timers, floppy interface and keyboard/mouse ports.
The PC/104-Plus interface supports both ISA and PCI addon modules.
Standard pass-through connectors allow the board to be used either above or below PC/104 addon modules.
It may also be used as a CPU module for larger system, by plugging it into a proprietary base board that includes user I/O circuitry.
As with other VersaLogic embedded computer boards, the Lynx includes a customisable, OEM-enhanced BIOS that is field-upgradeable.
It is designed to work with embedded operating systems including Windows CE, Linux, VxWorks, QNX, DOS, and other real-time OSs.
The Lynx, part number VL-EPM-4g, is currently available from stock.
Pricing is $425 in OEM quantities.
