In addition to SATA II interfaces with RAID support, connectivity includes USB, Gigabit LAN, RS232/422/485, and RS232 ports as well as PCI, Mini-PCI, Mini-PCIe, PCIe x16, and PCIe x4 interfaces.
Original Press Release:
Micro ATX Board Designed for Intel Core i7/i5/i3 64-bit Processors
The latest addition to BVM's extensive family of SBCs is the MS-C72, a powerful platform with a wealth of features. It conforms to the Micro ATX footprint and is fully compatible with Windows 7. It is ideal for use in high performance systems for industrial control and automation, security and surveillance, gaming, print imaging, digital signage and other applications such as video processing, where fast processing is a fundamental requirement.
Based on the Intel QM57 chipset, the MS-C72 supports the desktop 64-bit 32nm Intel Core i5/i3 processors with HD graphics and the 45nm i7/i5 without HD graphics, both in the LGA1156 socket. Up to 16GB of DDR3 1066/1333 system memory is available, and in the HD graphics versions, the graphics core on the processor die gives a two-chip system architecture that requires less power than alternative three-chip platforms. Intel turbo boost and hyper-threading technology optimise performance to match the system workload, increasing the efficiency of processor-intensive tasks.
The platform provides extensive I/O and mass storage capability. Six SATA II 300MB/s interfaces support RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 at up to 3GB/s; I/O includes 10 x USB2.0 ports, two Gigabit LAN ports, an RS232/422/485 and 5 x RS232 ports. Extended interface capability includes two PCI slots, one Mini-PCI and one Mini-PCIe socket, one PCIE x 16 and a PCIE x 4slots. A 24-bit dual channel LVDS interface is also provided, as are a programmable 8-bit GPIO interface and a 256-level watchdog timer.
