Chapter 1 General Information 1-2
1.1 Introduction
AAEON announces a brand new COM Express CPU module that
adopts the Intel®AtomTM processor N455 supported for
embedded applications. With the increasing demand for smaller,
lower-power, yet higher-performance embedded solutions, the
NanoCOM-LN brings the state-of-the-art technology of the Intel®
AtomTM processor to the embedded world.
The Intel®AtomTM processor N455 supports Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology and features an integrated graphics
controller (GMA 3150) along with a built-in memory controller
reducing the chipset footprint. NanoCOM-LN utilizes the Intel®
82801HM I/O Controller (ICH8M) to create a feature-rich platform
and the Intel®82567V Gigabit Ethernet Controller for Gigabit
Ethernet connection. One parallel IDE and three SATA 3.0 Gb/s
interfaces allow flexible storage options. Five PCI-Express[x1]
lanes, as well as LPC, SMBus and I2C provide versatile
expansion interfaces. This multitude of expansion interfaces
allows system integrators to easily expand their embedded
systems.
