Altair from Diamond Systems is a new rugged EMX Basic single-board computer (SBC) based on the Intel Atom E680T CPU running at 1,6 GHz, featuring dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, four serial ports and four USB 2.0 ports.
Altair is also the first SBC to implement the new EmbeddedXpress (EMX) stackable I/O standard.
Altair supports 1 GB or 2 GB of DDR2 DRAM soldered onboard and provides high-resolution LVDS and VGA graphics interfaces. Additional I/O ports include SATA, USB, serial, digital I/O and dual Gigabit Ethernet. Flexible system expansion is based on stackable EMX modules and a PCIe MiniCard socket. A socket is also provided for an optional onboard USB Flash disk of up to 8 GB.
Altair’s power-efficient design leverages Intel’s ultra-low-power (Queensbay) silicon platform, consisting of the Atom E680T (Tunnel Creek) processor and chipset (Topcliff). The heat-generating CPU and chipset are located on the bottom side of the SBC, and a conduction cooled bottom-mounted heat-spreader dissipates heat efficiently to the system enclosure. This configuration leaves the SBC’s top side free for easy access to onboard I/O and expansion sockets.
Altair’s rugged features include a wide temperature operating range of -40°C to +85°C, soldered-on memory, plus dedicated locations on the PCB to replace configuration jumpers with 0-ohm resistors for resistance to shock and vibration. Conformal coating is also available as an added cost option.
