1.1 < Product Overview>
The SBC-4212 is an all-in-one single board computer with PICMG interface. Based on Intel
Mobile solutions with 855GME chipset, it supports socket 479 Intel Pentium-M processor,
DDR266/333 SDRAM up to 2GB capacity, onboard Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Technology,
AC97 2 channel audio, USB2.0 interface and one optional Gigabit Ethernet controller.
As a powerful multimedia platform, SBC-4212 is also integrated with 24-bit dual channel
LVDS interface and one Compact Flash Type II socket. Thanks to these features
SBC-4212 is the perfect choice for industrial multimedia platform like POS or KIOSK
systems.
Powerful Embedded System
SBC-4212 supports Intel Pentium M FC-BGA2 with lower voltage and power consumption
for a fan free embedded system.
Embedded operating system like windows CE.net or Linux Embedded can be ported
through compact flash type II socket.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Interface
SBC-4212 offers up to 480Mbps Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interfaces with Intel ICH4 built-in
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 controller.
