New format for embedded SBCs
Epic is the new next-generation 4.5 x 6.5in embedded single board computer platform for the industrial market.
It is based on the Intel's popular 855GME chipset with the ICH4 communications controller and integrated Extreme Graphics 2 video 3D controller.
The EBC-855-G features an Intel 1GHz Celeron-M.
Both CPU and system controller are supplied from Intel's Embedded Architecture Division for long-term availability.
It supports a maximum of 1Gbyte of industry-standard PC2700 SDRAM, up to 8Gbyte of CompactFlash plus support for hard and floppy disk drives.
The EBC-855-G offers a full set of I/O interfaces including a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port (with remote boot capability); VGA and dual channel LVDS flat panel video, a miniPCI connector that supports an optional 802.11 wireless networking module, four USB 2.0 ports, four serial COM ports, AC97 audio (5.1 codec), LPT and a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse.
A software programmable 48-line digital I/O controller is onboard that provides input, output or output with readback for each I/O line.
The board also is populated with both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interface connectors for support of additional off-the-shelf or user-designed specialty I/O modules.
As the EBC-855-G architecture is PC compatible, it supports Windows CE and XP embedded, Linux, and a vast software development tool set including device drivers and libraries.
It also supports other real time operating systems such as QNX and VxWorks.
The EBC-855-G uses the Phoenix Trusted core BIOS.
It supports advanced features such as custom splash screen, APM 1.2 and ACPI 1.0b power management modes, PXE boot and multiple-language support.
The BIOS also supports legacy operation of a USB keyboard and mouse, as well as booting from a USB floppy disk, USB keys, and other USB-connected mass storage devices.
The EBC-855-G measures 146 x 203mm and is an EBX-compatible platform.
The EBC-855-G requires only +5V and typically draws 2.1A with 1Gbyte of DDR SDRAM installed.
The board is RoHS compliant.
