Eugene, OR — VersaLogic Corp. today announced a new embedded computer in its line of PC/104-Plus products. The new “Cheetah” board features a powerful 1.6 GHz Pentium M processor.

The Cheetah is targeted at applications requiring substantial processing power and extensive features in a compact design, such as medical, avionics, navigation/tracking, system monitoring, and security/homeland defense markets. It is especially suited for embedded control applications requiring a very small footprint, which the 3.6" x 3.8" board provides. Standard on-board features include 2 COM ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, IDE, LPT, audio, and PS/2 keyboard/mouse support. The board also features integrated high-performance video output with support for both analog monitors and LVDS flat-panels. The Extreme Graphics 2 video processor includes high speed 3-D rendering, full-motion video, and MPEG-2 decoding.

The PC/104-Plus interface supports both ISA and PCI add-on modules. Standard PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors allow the board to be used in a stack with other expansion boards. It may also be used as a CPU module for larger system, by plugging it into a proprietary base board that includes specific user I/O circuitry.

As with other VersaLogic embedded computer boards, the Cheetah includes a customizable, OEM-enhanced BIOS that is field-upgradeable. It is designed to work with embedded operating systems, including Windows CE/XP/XPe, Linux, VxWorks, QNX, DOS, and other real-time OSs. Pricing is about $1,500 in OEM quantities.
