Introduction
WAFER-5820 is designed for limited space applications with
only the size of a 3½" hard drive. Itsupports the full functions of an
AT-compatible industrial computer on a single board. The
WAFER-5820 is equipped with a low-power consumption and high
performance GXLV-233 processor on board. It also contains an
SDRAM SODIMM socket that can support up to 128MB memory.
The WAFER-5820 provides an Ethernet interface, audio
interface, socket for DiskOnChip, EIDE interface , one parallel port,
one serial ports RS-232 , one series ports RS-232/422/485 with
self-tuner , and a mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface. The
built-in SVGA/LCD display controller supports both the CRT and
LCD display simultaneously. It offers the resolutions of LCD
screen up to 800 x 600 and CRT resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @
16 colors. It also provides LVDS interface for long distance LCD
panel signal transmission. The display type is configured by
software utility. The Flash ROM contains both the system BIOS
and the VGA BIOS. The modification, in case of necessary, could
be done by reprogramming the Flash ROM.
The RS485 has an outstanding characteristic of intelligent
directing control which eliminates the extra control signal like RTS.
With this feature you can develop your program as you are using a
normal RS232 without special control routine. This is especially
important in WINDOWS programming which do not allow the
program to catch the control pin at your wish.
Finally, one PC/104 connector is included for the future
application you will need.
