1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-PV-D4251/D5251/N4551
The WAFER-PV-D4251/D5251/N4551 is a 3.5" SBC with an Intel® AtomD425, D525
or N455 CPU. It features onboard 1GB DDR3 800MHz SDRAM.
On board storage is handled by two SATA 3Gb/s ports for connecting a hard drive, optical
drive or SSD. The CompactFlash® slot allows a Type II CompactFlash® card to be
installed.
The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor
and one LVDS connector supports 18-bit single-channel display.
Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini card slot, three RS-232 ports, one
RS-232/422/485 port with Auto Flow control, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight USB 2.0
ports, and a digital I/O port.
