1.1 ECK-161B Embedded System Overview
Figure 1-1: ECK-161B Embedded System
The ECK-161B is an Intel® Core™ Duo or Intel® Celeron® M based embedded system
that is ideal for multimedia applications. The ECK-161B embedded system supports
diverse display including one VGA display and one HDTV display. The High Definition (HD)
Audio integrated in the ECK-161B provides surround sound quality and supports up to
eight channels of sound. A 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM memory module is preinstalled in the
ECK-161B.
The aluminum alloy fins on the chassis offers superior heat dissipation and makes the
fanless ECK-161B embedded system have high performance and low operating
temperature. The ECK-161B has two power input connectors to support 12 V DC input
and 9 V ~ 36 V DC input.
The ECK-161B supports one 2.5” SATA HDD and has one front-accessible
CompactFlash® card slot. Featuring two GbE, six USB, four serial communication ports,
as well as audio, TV-out, and VGA, the ECK-161B offers system integrators and
developers the best selection of robust and high performance computing system platforms.
The ECK-161B embedded system also supports one PCI card for more expansion
options.
