1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: NANO-KBN-i1
The NANO-KBN-i1 EPIC SBC motherboard is an AMD® G-Series SoC processor
platform. It supports one 204-pin 1600/1333 MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM up to 8.0 GB.
The NANO-KBN-i1 supports dual display via VGA, HDMI and an internal LVDS connector.
Expansion and I/O include two USB 3.0 connectors on the rear panel, four USB 2.0
connectors by pin header, two USB 2.0 connectors on the rear panel and two SATA 6Gb/s
connectors. Serial device connectivity is provided by five internal RS-232 connectors and
one internal RS-422/485 connector. Two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors provide the system
with smooth connections to an external LAN.
