Fanless embedded computer

5 September 2012 Computer/Embedded Technology

The new AMOS-3002 from VIA Technologies is a highly compact, fanless system designed around the tiny VIA EPIA-P900 Pico-ITX board. It delivers the latest features and digital media standards required for a diversified range of embedded applications including telematics, in-vehicle control, machine to machine control (M2M), digital signage and kiosks.

The computer is specifically designed to support the EPIA-P900 Pico-ITX board, which combines a 1,0 GHz Eden X2 processor and the VIA VX900H media system processor (MSP), to operate completely fanlessly within a robust chassis measuring 19,7 x 10,4 x 4,9 cm (WxDxH).

The all-in-one VX900H MSP boasts hardware acceleration of the most demanding codecs, including MPEG-2, WMV9 and H.264, in resolutions up to 1080p across the latest display connectivity standards, including native HDMI support, for next-generation, multimedia-intensive applications.

The VIA AMOS-3002 has a certified operating temperature of -20°C to 60°C, vibration tolerance of up to 5 Grms and a shock tolerance of up to 50 G. It is also available with the EPIA-P830 featuring a 1,0 GHz Nano E-Series processor, offering an operating temperature of -20°C to 70°C.

Storage is provided through a Cfast slot for a SATA interface Flash drive, while an optional storage subsystem expansion chassis offers support for a standard 2,5” SATA drive.

I/O functions on front and rear panels include two COM ports, six USB 2.0 ports (two of which are lockable for increased ruggedness) line-in/out, one DIO port, one VGA and one HDMI port for display connectivity and two GLAN ports for dual Gigabit networking.

Optional Wi-Fi and 3G networking are available through a MiniPCIe expansion slot.
