Overview
The ETX-mgx (Embedded Technology
eXtended) is a highly integrated and fast PC
module with extreme low power consumption. It
allows, due to the used AMD® Geode™
GX1 processor, the usage of the board without
active cooling in applications, where space
limitations (the maximum height without heat
sink is only 10 mm!) are major requirements.
Despite the very little board dimensions, the
ETX-mgx offers all standard interfaces such
as sound, Ethernet, USB
and graphic. The AC97 compatible sound chip
is supported by most operating systems. For
networking purposes the
ETX-mgx comes with a 10/ 100 MBit Ethernet controller
which allows an easy Intranet/ Internet access.
Total connectivity is guaranteed by the huge
amount of communication interfaces like 2 serial
TTL ports, an EPP/ ECP parallel port, 2 USB
ports and the 10/ 100 MBit Ethernet. The integrated
video controller operates CRT monitors as well
as LVDS LCD panels. With up to 4 MByte video
RAM, allocated by UMA, resolutions up to 1280x1024
with 8 bpp or 1024x768 with 16 bpp (high color)
depth can be displayed. You‘re looking
for a secure and EMI tolerant boot medium and
want to be unlimited in your media capacity
choice? A CompactFlash™ socket is already
mounted on the ETX-mgx and offers you a lot
of possibilities. For further expansions two
IDE ports with Ultra33 DMA capabilities are
available on the SMT bus connectors. They do
not provide the PCI bus only, the ISA bus signals
are also available. A lot of existing ISA boards
can still be used via an ISA slot on a baseboard.
This avoids expensive redesigns of well proven
ISA cards to PCI versions for standard PC motherboards.
Despite the unbelievable variety of functionality,
the ETX-mgx is a very inexpensive choice, the
cost effectiveness of this device is unbeatable.
With this low-cost module, you are...
