Description
Overview
The Python is a mid-performance single board computer that offers
lower power consumption and superior performance over previous
generation embedded computers. Advancements in technology allow the
Python to be a more flexible core component in any embedded system, and
reduce the amount of development time required to add specialized I/O
or custom peripheral devices. The highly efficient AMD LX 800 processor
is integrated with a wide range of on-board I/O from standard PC/104
and PC/104-Plus interfaces to versatile analog and digital
I/O. With dual Ethernet channels, USB 2.0 ports, RS-232 and RS-422 COM
ports, and fanless operation, the Python is ideal for industrial
control and data acquisition applications. The Python is available in
several versions, including models for standard and extended
temperature operation.
Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is
designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and
long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+
years production life, its quality and longevity provide a
cost-effective, long-term solution. Customization is available on as
few as 100 pieces. The Python is manufactured and tested to the highest
quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations, and is backed by
a two year limited warranty.
Details
The Python features the AMD LX 800 processor, which offers Celeron
800 MHz-equivalent performance while drawing less than 5 watts of
power. This highly-integrated processor, along with its companion chip,
provide the majority of the Python's on-board I/O, including USB
support, audio, and video. The high resolution video output can be
configured for either standard desktop-type displays or LVDS flat
panels.
For cost-effective I/O expansion without the need for additional PC/104 modules, the Python includes VersaLogic's new SPX
interface. SPX modules provide an inexpensive solution for additional
I/O including analog, digital, CANbus, relay switching, and more. In
addition, the simple SPX interface, which is based on Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) signaling, can be used to easily design custom user I/O
devices.
The board features a General Software Embedded BIOS with OEM
enhancements. This BIOS supports custom defaults and the addition of
firmware and firmbase applications for security processes, remote
booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Python is compatible
with a variety of popular operating systems, including Windows, QNX,
VxWorks, and Linux.
