'World's first' Pico-ITXe SBC

21 January 2009 Computer/Embedded Technology

VIA recently announced the VIA EPIA-P710, said to be the world’s first single board computer (SBC) based on the new Pico-ITXe specification of the Small Form Factor Special Interest Group (SFF-SIG).

Supporting up to four customisable I/O expansion modules, the P710 enables a highly flexible and affordable implementation of serial connectivity options. It features two SUMIT (stackable unified module interconnect technology) connectors that integrate common high- and low-speed, legacy and serial expansion buses, including PCI Express, LPC, SPI and USB 2.0.

The board offers system developers scope for customising I/O simply and cost effectively through the addition of selected Pico-I/O bus expansion modules, for demanding applications such as industrial automation, data acquisition and process monitoring. The board can also be used as a standalone platform for mid-range signage and kiosk solutions.

Measuring just 10 cm x 7,2 cm, the P710 uses a 1 GHz VIA C7 processor and the latest VIA VX800 all-in-one media system processor, which features the integrated VIA Chrome9 IGP with DX9 Graphics and MPEG-2/4, WMV9 and VC1 video decoding acceleration. The board supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 system memory, one IDE channel, two SATA channels and the VIA Vinyl HD Audio.
