1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-BT-i1
The WAFER-BT-i1 SBC motherboard is an Intel® Atom™/Celeron® processor platform. It
supports one 204-pin 1066/1333 MHz single-channel DDR3L SO-DIMM supports up to
8GB (J1900, N2930, E3845, E3827, E3826) or 4GB (N2807, E3825, E3815).
The WAFER-BT-i1 includes a VGA connector, a LVDS connector and an iDP connector.
Expansion and I/O include one USB 2.0 connector and one USB 3.0 connector on the rear
panel, four USB 2.0 connectors by pin header and two SATA 3Gb/s connectors. Serial
device connectivity is provided by two internal RS-232 connectors, one external RS-232
connector and one internal RS-422/485 connector. Two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors
provide the system with smooth connections to an external LAN.
