VersaLogic Corp., an Oregon-based embedded computer company, today announced the Tiger, a PC/104-Plus single board computer (SBC) featuring great performance, very low power consumption, and fanless operation.

The Tiger takes advantage of Intel's Atom Z5xx (Menlow XL) processor, which was designed specifically for embedded applications. Based upon Intel's 45 nm hi-k Metal Gate Silicon technology, the Z5xx series Atom chip offers high performance, industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) operation and radically reduced power requirements. Its advanced power management capabilities include the new C6 state (Deep Power Down Technology) and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology.

Leveraging the high performance/low power capabilities of the Atom Z5xx and its US15WP(T) chipset, the Tiger is an ideal choice for space, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained embedded applications. Based on the industry standard PC/104-Plus form factor, this compact and rugged SBC is an excellent solution for industrial, energy, defense/aerospace, medical, and robotics applications where a small footprint, low power draw (6W typical), and fanless operation are crucial design factors.

The Tiger was designed for embedded environments requiring high performance, low power consumption, and passive cooling," said Len Crane, President of VersaLogic. "The Tiger's PC/104-Plus design delivers plenty of I/O plus all the best features of the Intel Atom processor in a very compact, industry standard SBC."

Available in both a 1.6 GHz commercial temperature (0º to +60ºC) version and a 1.33 GHz industrial temperature (-40º to +85ºC) version, the rugged Tiger board meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for mechanical shock and vibration for use in harsh environments.

Standard on-board features include a gigabit Ethernet port with network boot capability, SO-DIMM socket for up to 2 GB DDR2 RAM, seven USB 2.0 ports, four serial ports, IDE controller with support for two devices, HD audio, and a Disk on Module (DOM) socket for removable flash storage. Video features include advanced 3D graphics, high-definition video, integrated LVDS, and optional analog VGA support. Industry standard PC/104-Plus expansion provides plug-in access to a wide variety of PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion modules from numerous vendors. The SPX expansion interface provides low-cost plug-in expansion for additional analog, digital, and CANbus I/O.

The Tiger features Phoenix Technologies’ Embedded BIOS® with OEM enhancements. The field-reprogrammable BIOS supports custom defaults and the Firmbase™ software developers kit (SDK) for security, remote/network booting, and other application functions. ACPI 2.0 support provides advanced power management capabilities. Tiger is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems, including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.

This new product includes VersaLogic's 5+ year production life guarantee and is customizable, even in low OEM quantities. Customization options include conformal coating, revision locks, custom labeling, customized testing and screening, connector changes, and additional services.

The Tiger SBC will be available from stock starting in May of 2011.

VersaLogic Corp., an Oregon-based manufacturer of embedded computer products, today announced the release of the VL-EPM-E2 embedded expansion module featuring high-performance networking capabilities and extensive ruggedization features.

Based on the industry standard PC/104-Plus form factor, the VL-EPM-E2 provides for simplified stack-up expansion with PC/104-Plus CPUs and expansion modules. The VL-EPM-E2 is available with single or dual Fast Ethernet ports using standard RJ45 output connectors. For extremely rugged applications, a dual Ethernet configuration with latching header connectors is available. All VL-EPM-E2 configurations are designed and tested for operation over the full industrial temperature range (-40° to +85°C) and meet MIL-STD-202G specifications for mechanical shock and vibration.

The Ethernet controller features auto-negotiation for simplified configuration and each Ethernet port is independently configurable as a separate subnet. On-board LEDs provide Link/Activity and Speed status for each Ethernet port with an additional header for external LED support. Software drivers are available for a wide variety of operating systems to provide a complete high-performance networking solution.

The VL-EPM-E2 includes VersaLogic's 5+ year production life guarantee and is customizable even in low OEM quantities. Customization options include conformal coating, revision locks, custom labeling, customized testing and screening, connector changes, and additional services.

This new expansion module is available from stock starting in May of 2011.

EDT, Inc. announces the release of the ExpressLink DVa: a series of Camera Link framegrabbers for ExpressCard™.

The ExpressLink DVa products provide Camera Link connectivity for laptop and notebook computers equipped with ExpressCard slots. Data rates of up to 190 MB/sec can be achieved.

The ExpressLink DVa series includes options for single or dual Camera Link MDR26, as well as fiberoptic. For example the ExpressLink DVa / C1F1 (pictured) is equipped with one standard MDR26 connector and one fiberoptic transceiver, compatible with EDT's RCX C-Link Camera Link to fiberoptic adapter, shattering the Camera Link 10 meter distance barrier by providing long distance remote siting of your CCD or CMOS camera up to 10 KM from the computer.

Base through full mode is supported, and up to 4 base mode cameras can be connected for sequential or simultaneous image capture (subject to total bandwidth limitations).

Like all EDT products, the ExpressLink DVa comes with a full software development kit, a common application programming interface, and engineer-to-engineer support.
