A new EBXcompatible embedded PC has been released that allows manufacturers and integrators to design systems that have both ruggedness and low cost.
Ampro Computers' rugged LittleBoard 550 SBC offers a choice of 300 MHz Via Eden ESP 3000, 533 MHz Eden ESP 5000, or 1 GHz Eden ESP 10000 processors, and has popular embedded features such as two Ethernet ports, four RS232/422/485 ports, onboard CompactFlash socket, PC/104-Plus expansion, and Ampro embedded BIOS extensions.
In addition to high reliability and resistance to shock and vibration, Ampro says the rugged products feature a standard operating temperature of 0 to +70°C and extended operation from -40 to +85°C.
The LittleBoard 550 leverages most of the design of the successful LittleBoard 700 SBC, including dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors, AGP 4x graphics, onboard CompactFlash socket, and full PC/104-Plus expansion (PCI and ISA buses), but uses low cost Via Eden processors instead of Intel P-III and Celeron processors. Unlike the Via C3 processors that are rated well above 7 W TDP (thermal design power) and require a cooling fan, all Eden ESP processors are rated for less than 7 W, making them a better choice for high reliability applications. In particular, with extended temperature operation and low power Eden CPUs, thermal design is simplified for applications that operate in harsh environments and require a sealed, airtight enclosure.
The LittleBoard 550 mechanical design (form factor, mounting holes, connector locations and connector pin definitions) is identical to both the LittleBoard 700 and 800. This provides a seamless upgrade path.
