August 13, 2013 – ADLINK Technology announced CoreModule1-86DX2,PC/104 form factor single board computer (SBC) featuring an extensive I/O feature set and full ISA bus support. The CoreModule1-86DX2 is ideal for control applications that require power efficiency, small form factor design, longevity, and industrial grade ruggedness. The CoreModule1-86DX2 enables a performance boost for legacy PC/104 systems that continue to utilize real ISA bus and supports applications across markets, including transportation, automated manufacturing, and aviation.
Based on DMP’s Vortex86-DX2 single chip solution, which integrates a powerful yet efficient CPU with graphics controller, audio controller, and other functionalities, the CoreModule1-86DX2 provides all of the standard peripheral connections of an embedded PC on a printed circuit board with dimensions of 96mm x 90 mm (3.775” x 3.550”). The CoreModule1-86DX2's I/O includes 2 Ethernet ports, 4 serial ports, 3 USB ports, 8 A/D inputs, 8 GPIOs, and PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse.
A SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface is also provided to allow for connection with a disk or optical drive. Taking full advantages of ADLINK’s market-proven Rugged by Design methodology, the CoreModule1-86DX2 is able to withstand 11.95 Grms vibration and 40G shock (MIL-STD-202G Method 214A/213B) and operate over an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The ADLINK CoreModule1-86DX2 also supports Smart Embedded Management Agent (SEMA) functions, including watchdog timer, temperature monitoring, and fail-safe BIOS support, further insuring the system’s operational reliability.
The CoreModule1-86DX2 runs DOS, Windows XP/7, and Linux operating systems and is powered by a 5V-only supply. System expansion can easily be realized over the PC/104, Mini-PCI-Express and I²C bus connectors.
