Single Board Computer with COMIT

Oct. 12, 2009
New embedded computer technology enables a future path to support new low-power and ultra-mobile processors and their high-speed, serial I/O buses.

WinSystems announced Sept. 22 its EBC-Z8510-G single board computer (SBC) powered by an Intel 1.1GHz Atom processor. This SBC measures 203mm x 147mm (8.5” x 5.75”) and supports the new SUMIT-ISM (Stackable Unified Modular Interconnect Technology--Industry Standard Module) I/O expansion standard plus COMIT (Computer On Module Interconnect Technology) defined by the Small Form Factor Special Interest Group (SFF-SIG). This advancement in board-level architecture features easy connectivity and legacy I/O migration. With a blend of high-bandwidth PCI Express (PCIe) lanes, USB ports, and lower speed multiplexed and serial buses, SUMIT and COMIT can be added to a variety of board form factors, and is flexible and compact enough to meet a very broad range of application requirements.

The EBC-Z510-G’s I/O interface features two Gigabit Ethernet ports; CRT and LVDS flat panel video, a MiniPCIe card interface for a wireless networking module, four USB 2.0 ports, four serial COM ports, HD audio, PATA controller for both a CompactFlash and hard disk, 48 lines of digital I/O, LPT, and a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse. Additional I/O module expansion is supported with two SUMIT and legacy PC/104 connectors. This RoHS-compliant board operates over an industrial temperature range of -40° to +70°Celsius for processor- and I/O-intensive applications in harsh and demanding environments.

Its architecture is PC compatible, supporting Microsoft Windows XP embedded and Linux software operating systems along with a software development tool set including device drivers and libraries. It also supports advanced features such as custom splash screen, APM and ACPI power management modes, and PXE boot.
