First ETX Platform with New Intel® Atom™ Dual Core CPU
The dual core Intel® Atom™ processor
D510 is part of Intel® ‘s Embedded Roadmap and ensures the long-term
availability of ETX™ products for at least seven more years.
The ETX™ module MSC ETE-PV510 integrates the 1.66 GHz D510 processor and the Intel® ICH8M IO controller hub. This two-chip solution offers a significant better performance than the fast 1.8 GHz Intel® Pentium® M. In comparison to the Intel® Atom™ N270 CPU with Mobile Intel® chipset 82945GSE and ICH7DH Southbridge, the graphics and computing performance has nearly been doubled. In addition to this high-end ETX™ module, MSC offers the entry level model MSC ETEA945GSE, which is also long-term available. This model is based on a low-power Intel® Atom™ N270 CPU running at 1.6 GHz.
Compliant with the worldwide proven ETX™ specification 3.02, the ETX™ platform MSC ETE-PV510 offers the legacy interfaces ISA, PS/2, COM and LPT. Two out of the six available USB 2.0 interfaces, are constructed as loss-free high speed interfaces in the form of mini-USB connectors on the top side of the module. The board has a 32 bit PCI bus interface, an 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface and two SATA channels with up to 300 MB/s. Via the LVDS interface an industrial display with a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels can be connected. The CRT interface delivers an accuracy of 2048 x 1536 pixels. The 95 x 114 mm ETX™ module optionally integrates a 4GB fl ash disk to boot an embedded system. An extension to 8 GB is under preparation. The boot performance and the fl ash capacity exceed the requirements of most ETX™ applications. Without the need for an external hard drive very compact low cost embedded systems with increased mechanical stability can be implemented.
The ETX™ module MSC ETE-PV510 is designed for powerful applications in different markets like industrial automation, image processing, medical and digital signage.
MSC provides different baseboards for the evaluation and the design-in of the ETX™ platform. Special starter kits for Windows® and Linux operating systems are available on request.
