Description
Overview
The Manx is a compact, rugged single board computer that combines a
high degree of functionality with low power requirements and no moving
parts. The inherent ruggedness of the Manx’s PC/104 size combined with
the low power AMD Geode LX 800 processor make this board a great fit
for vehicular/aircraft controls, medical electronics, and many other
OEM applications.
The Manx has an impressive list of on-board features, including
high-performance video with flat panel support, 10/100 Ethernet, four
USB ports, three COM ports, LPT port, and IDE interface. A CompactFlash
socket provides bootable media storage and TVS devices provide enhanced
ESD protection on user I/O ports. The Manx includes 256 MB of
soldered-on RAM for use in applications requiring a high degree of
ruggedness.
Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is
designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and
long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+
years production life, its quality and longevity provide a
cost-effective, long-term solution. The Manx is manufactured and tested
to the highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations,
and is backed by a two year limited warranty. Customization is
available on as few as 100 pieces.
Details
The Manx features the AMD Geode LX 800 processor, which offers
outstanding performance and low power draw (5W). This highly-integrated
processor provides fast on-board transfers (6 GB per second),
high-speed memory access, and integrated high-performance video with
both analog and LVDS flat panel support. It is available in both
standard temperature (0° to +60°C) and extended temperature (-40° to
+85°C) versions.
The suspend-to-RAM power management feature supports a very low power sleep mode (0.2W) for use between active sessions.
The Manx can operate as a stand-alone SBC or can be combined with specialized PC/104 or PC/104-Plus I/O boards for additional functionality. Pass-through connectors for the PC/104 and PC/104-Plus
interfaces provide support for many off-the-shelf I/O boards and also
provide an interface for custom baseboards that may be larger than the
Manx. In addition, the Manx has been designed to provide a migration
path for VersaLogic Puma (VL-EPM-5x) SBC users.
The Manx includes several features to support reliable operation in
the field, including TVS devices and fanless cooling. The TVS devices
provide enhanced ESD protection for the analog video output, USB, COM,
LPT, and Ethernet ports.
The board features a Phoenix Technologies (formerly General
Software) Embedded BIOS with OEM enhancements and power management. The
field-reprogrammable BIOS supports custom defaults and optional
addition of firmware and firmbase applications for security processes,
remote booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Manx is
compatible with a variety of popular operating systems, including
Windows, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
