| Ampro EnCore SBC family |
[Vendor: Ampro]
Each compact (100 x 145 mm; 3.9 x 5.7 in.) Ampro EnCore module includes a processor, system and Flash storage memory, plus a set of standardized peripheral interfaces (IDE, floppy, Ethernet, serial, parallel, USB, and sound), while some also provide graphics controllers for CRTs and flat panels. All Ampro EnCore modules are supported with Linux operating system BSPs.
The modules interface with customer-developed "custom logic boards" via a combination of PCI bus and standardized I/O signals, without regard to processor architecture. Since all modules in the EnCore family have consistent feature-sets, physical dimensions, and interface connector locations, a single custom logic board design can support multiple processor architectures simply by exchanging Encore modules.
The Encore product line currently includes the following family members. . . - Encore PP1 (photo) -- based on a 300MHz Motorola MPC8245 processor with a built-in 66MHz PCI bus interface. It supports up to 512MB SODIMM SDRAM and provides 2MB Flash memory with Ampro universal bootloader/monitor software. On-board I/O includes a 10/100BaseT Ethernet controller, JTAG interface, two serial ports, two USB ports, enhanced Ultra 33/66 EIDE interface to two drives, floppy disk controller, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, IrDA port, an ECP/EPP bidirectional parallel port and an AC97 audio interface. Typical power consumption is under 4W.
- Encore M2 (photo) -- based on an Alchemy Semiconductor 400 MHz Au1000 MIPS32-compatible system-on-chip processor, the module includes up to 256MB SODIMM SDRAM along with 2MB Flash memory. I/O controllers include two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet controllers, AC97 audio interface, two serial ports, two USB ports, floppy and IDE controllers, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, IrDA, ECP/EPP bidirectional parallel port. The module also has a 33 MHz PCI expansion bus. Typical power consumption is under 2W.
- EnCore 400 (photo) -- based on a 133 MHz ST Microelectronics STPC Atlas system-on-chip processor, the module includes up to 128MB of onboard SODIMM DRAM, and provides a 33 MHz PCI expansion bus. I/O controllers include two serial ports, EPP/ECP parallel port, two USB UHCI ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, floppy and Ultra/DMA 33 IDE controllers, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface, an AC97 audio interface, and a 2D CRT/LCD graphics controller.
- EnCore 500 (photo) -- based on a 266MHz Mobile Pentium processor, the module supports up to 128MB SODIMM SDRAM and provides a 33 MHz PCI expansion bus. I/O controllers include two serial ports, EPP/ECP parallel port, two USB ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, floppy and IDE controllers, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, SoundBlaster-compatible audio, and a 3D CRT/LCD graphics controller.
- EnCore 700 (photo) -- based on a choice of either a 500 MHz Mobile Celeron or 850 MHz Mobile Pentium III CPU, the module supports from 16MB to 512MB SODIMM DRAM and provides a 33 MHz PCI expansion bus. I/O controllers include two serial ports, EPP/ECP parallel port, two USB ports, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, floppy and Ultra/DMA 33 IDE controllers, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, AC97 audio, and a 2D/3D CRT/LCD graphics controller.
