Single board computer with full SA legacy support

28 November 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

The PCM-9377 from Advantech is an 87,5 mm power efficient SBC (single board computer) with an integrated VIA Mark CoreFusion processor that balances powerful computing with good power consumption. The computer is supported by Advantech's SUSI (secure and unified smart interface) which provides customers with a simple way to efficiently implement hardware system controls.

The PCM-9377 is designed for multipurpose embedded applications requiring small form factors, especially applications needing full legacy ISA support. It uses the VIA MARK CoreFusion processor with built-in Northbridge that reduces board real estate by up to 15%. The single fanless chip design offers integrated graphics with 3D support and dual simultaneous display capability.

Other features include SODIMM support up to 512 MB of SDRAM, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, PC/104 and miniPCI III interfaces for expansion. Four USB 2.0 compliant ports and a Compact Flash card for rich multi OS support make this SBC suitable for applications in transportation, in-vehicle and entry-level medical fields.

Advantech's SUSI (secure and unified smart interface) consists of a set of standardised, secure and unified drivers and an application programming interface (API) for quick implementation of hardware system controls. SUSI is fully compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio and saves customers the trouble and effort of having to configure the hardware from scratch. SUSI allows customers to access PCM-9377's hardware functions such as watch-dog, GPIO and SMBus from within different operating systems. PCM-9377 was specially developed with Windows Embedded OS optimised drivers, tools and components to enhance Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 & XPe (SP2).
