1.1 Introduction
Advantech's SOM-ETX form factor System On Module provides a
scalable solution that meets customers' advanced CPU and application
development needs. The SOM-4450 incorporates a low power, fanless
GX1-300 MHz processor that has become the embedded integrators'
processor of choice. It uses a NS CS5530A chipset as its VGA/LCD
controller, with single 18 bit LVDS interface and 64-bit graphics engine.
The CS5530Adisplay controller (LCD and CRT display support) allows
sharp and clear LCD screen resolutions up to 1024 x 768 and CRT
resolutionsupto 1280x1024 @16 colors. Combinedwith the CS5530A
system chipset is a RealTek RTL 8139 ethernet chipset. It supports all
functions of an AT-compatible industrial computer. There is one
SODIMM socket that supports 16 MB to 128 MB synchronous
DRAM.Thesmall size(95 mm x114 mm)anduse offour high capacity
connectors based on the proven ETX form factor, allow the SOM-ETX
modules to be easily and securely mounted onto a customized solution
board or our standard SOM-DB4400 development board.
Many gains were made by using the Geode™ GX1 processor. The GX1
processor provides the lowest power consumption combined with
high speed 586 processing power. This GX1 processor also supports
most popular web plug-ins and leverages existing software and
hardware investments. Onboard features include an ethernet interface,
socket for CompactFlash™ card , Enhanced IDE interface capable of
Ultra DMA transfer protocol, one parallel port, two serial ports and a
PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface.
