Advantech releases EBX Single Board Computer
Advantech, a global leader in embedded solutions and services has released a powerful EBX SBC (Single Board Computer) on the market.
Targeted at System Integrators who want a modular solution with good 2D/3D graphics performance and high data throughput, PCM-9590 with Intel Core2 Duo processor represents a major step up in performance within the EBX series.
Packed with two SATA II bus connectors, multiple I/O features as well as flexible AT/ATX power input, PCM-9590 is ideal for a wide-range of embedded applications including digital surveillance, automation, security and gaming.
Powerful CPU performance
Advantech EBX form factor SBC are compact (8.00" x 5.75" inches (203 x 146 mm L x W)) embedded platforms that provide a full set of I/O features and connectivity.
PCM-9590 SBC with Intel Core 2 Duo and 945GM chipset can support up to 4 GB of DDR2 SODIMM memory.
With Intel Graphic Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 chipset, the board also offers good 3D graphic rendering and enhanced visual quality, ideal for the gaming market.
PCM-9590 also comes with a Core Duo ULV U2500 1.2 GHz CPU, offering customers an alternative choice for fanless solutions.
Rich I/O features
PCM-9590 is packed with numerous I/O features that include 2 SATA II interface, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Dual Display (combinations: CRT + 36-bit LVDS, TV-Out + 36-bit LVDS, TV-Out + CRT), 7.1 Channel HD Audio, 6 x USB 2.0 and 4 x COM’s.
For expansion there is one PCI-Express x16, one PCI-104 connector and one Mini-PCI slot allowing optional modules to be added on.
The two onboard SATA II bus connectors offer a significant performance improvement of up to 3 GBit/s over the older (soon to be phased out) IDE interface.
Advantech SUSI utility
PCM-9590 was specially developed for Windows Embedded XPe.
To help customers integrate their own applications, Advantech’s SUSI API library provides access to functions such as Watchdog, GPIO, SMBus, etc. SUSI consists of a set of unified drivers and API that can help speed up the hardware/software integration process.
Furthermore, with Advantech’s global logistics and support, product development and time to market deadlines can be realistically met.
PCM-9590 is Advantech’s next generation EBX form factor SBC that combines all the essential embedded features of multiple I/O, expandability and excellent CPU performance.
PCM-9590 is a powerful SBC in the EBX form factor, suitable for a broad range of applications including digital surveillance, automation, security and gaming.
