Product Overview

110124-7000A

Product Overview

The Vector is a high-performance, low-cost single board computer based on the Intel®Atom™

Z5xxP/PT processor. It uses an integrated two-chip solution comprised of the Intel Atom processor

and Intel®System Controller Hub US15WP/PT (Intel®SCH US15W). The Intel Atom processor utilizes

the new low-power Intel micro architecture, while the Intel SCH US15W contains an integrated 2D/3D

graphics controller supporting hardware-accelerated graphics display and video processing

capabilities. The Vector conforms to the EPIC form factor and implements several industry-standard

interfaces supporting a broad spectrum of end-use applications. With the Vector, embedded users can

gain higher performance at a lower cost.

The Vector is available with Windows®CE, Windows Embedded Standard, and Wind River Linux 3.0

operating systems. Support is also available for the Java Virtual Machine and Eurotech’s Everyware™

Software Framework, which offers an easy-to-use, Java-based development environment that

minimizes time to market and allows for easy portability for future expansion.
