VersaLogic Introduces the Manx, a Compact, Rugged PC/104-Plus Single Board Computer
Eugene, Oregon - Apr. 13, 2009 - VersaLogic Corp., a Eugene, Oregon based embedded computer company, announced today that it will begin shipping a new PC/104-Plus single board computer (SBC) for embedded OEM applications. The "Manx" is a mid-range SBC featuring a highly efficient AMD Geode LX 800 processor. The product is function and pin-out compatible with VersaLogic's older Puma SBC, offering customers a higher performance migration path from that popular product. The new Manx incorporates mid-range processing speed (500 MHz) with very low power consumption (less than 5 watts). The ACPI suspend-to-RAM state feature reduces power draw to an incredible 0.2 watts between active sessions.
This high-reliability fanless design is available in both standard (0° to +60°C) and extended (-40° to +85°C) temperature versions. The low power consumption, compact design, and soldered-on RAM make the Manx an ideal choice for demanding embedded computing applications in markets including defense, aerospace, medical equipment, and industrial automation.
The Manx has standard on-board features that include 256 MB of soldered-on DRAM, 10/100 Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, LPT port, IDE interface, three COM ports, and analog audio. A CompactFlash® socket provides reliable, high-capacity on-board storage with no moving parts. Integrated high-performance video capabilities support simultaneous analog VGA and LVDS output at resolutions up to 1600x1200 with 32-bit color and MMX(TM) + 3DNow!(TM) graphics for video-intensive applications. The PC/104-Plus expansion interface supports both ISA and PCI add-on modules.
Len Crane, President of VersaLogic, noted, "The Manx provides a great migration path for existing customers, or an opportunity for new customers to realize the benefits of a moderately priced x86 CPU board with very low power draw."
As with other VersaLogic embedded computer boards, the Manx features a Phoenix Software (formerly General Software) reprogrammable BIOS which supports custom defaults and the addition of firmbase security applications, remote booting, and other pre-OS software functions.
The Manx is fully RoHS-compliant and compatible with a variety of popular embedded operating systems, including Windows CE/XP, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
Customization of the Manx is available, even in low OEM quantities. Options include conformal coating, BIOS customizations, revision locks, custom labeling, high-G shock and vibration treatment, custom testing and screening, etc.
The Manx will be available in production quantities in June. Pricing is about $550 in OEM quantities. For additional information contact VersaLogic Corp. at (541) 485-8575 or info@versalogic.com, or visit the on-line catalog at www.VersaLogic.com.
