Description
Overview
The EBX-compliant Sidewinder is a feature-packed single board
computer (SBC) that uses a VIA Eden 1.2 GHz processor, which offers
very high per-watt performance, excellent heat dissipation, and
outstanding cost of ownership. The platform incorporates dual 10/100
Ethernet, a CompactFlash socket, and integrated I/O including 8-channel
12-bit analog input, 32-channel digital I/O, and two counter/timers.
The Sidewinder design also supports PC/104, PC/104-Plus and SPX
expansion sites and incorporates six USB 2.0 ports to create a highly
reliable, cost-effective SBC. The RoHS-compliant Sidewinder is ideal
for new applications requiring higher performance coupled with lower
power consumption, rock solid reliability, and compatibility with
standard software applications and leading operating systems.
Details
The Sidewinder is powered by the VIA Eden 1.2 GHz processor, a very
high performance-per-watt processor. The companion digital media
chipset integrates the VIA UniChrome Pro II 2D/3D graphics core and an
array of high-end video technologies, including hardware MPEG-2/4 and
WMV9 video decoding acceleration. The Sidewinder can be configured for
use with either standard desktop-type displays or LVDS flat panels. For
cost-effective I/O expansion without the need for additional PC/104
modules, the Sidewinder includes VersaLogic’s new SPX interface. SPX
modules provide a low-cost flexible solution for adding additional I/O
such as analog and digital I/O, CANbus interface, relay switching, and
more. The use of SPX expansion modules can dramatically reduce both
development time and target system costs for most projects.
The Sidewinder features General Software’s Embedded BIOS with OEM
enhancements. This field-upgradeable BIOS supports custom defaults and
the addition of firmware and firmbase applications for security, remote
booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Sidewinder is
compatible with a variety of popular operating systems, including
Windows XP/CE, QNX, VxWorks, and Linux. Dual Ethernet channels, USB 2.0
ports, RS-232 and RS-422 COM ports make the Sidewinder an ideal
solution for industrial control, medical devices, and other embedded
applications where high reliability and long-term availability are
required.
Like all VersaLogic products, this efficient SBC is designed from
the ground up for long-term availability. From application design-in to
5+ years of production life, the quality and longevity provide a
cost-effective, long-term solution. Customization is available on as
few as 100 pieces. The Sidewinder is manufactured and tested to the
highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations, and is
backed by a two year limited warranty.
