Kontron's PCIe/104 embedded single board computer based on the Intel Atom E600C processor series with industrial temperature range pairs an E600 processor with an Altera FPGA in a single package. The Microspace MSMST has FPGA I/O options to allow OEMs to efficiently develop designs with the I/O requirements needed to address applications in markets such as automation, medical, transportation, energy, military and communications. Validated IP cores are available for CAN-bus, serial interfaces (SPI Master or UART) and PCI-Express, I2C and GPIO. OEMs only need the IP core and corresponding HSMC (high-speed mezzanine cards) to carry out the interfaces. According to the company, this flexibility, combined with the x86/FPGA technology ecosystem of IP cores and HSMCs, makes the SBC suitable for dedicated RISC platforms. The Intel Atom E600C processor features 1.3GHz with up to 2Gbyte onboard system DRAM. The power optimised Intel Graphics Media Accelerator with up to 128Mbyte, 18/24bit LVDS and SDVO interface, is integrated in the processor. Video signals are carried out by optional media boards for VGA or DVI. Storage media can be connected by 2x SATA300. 2 x USB 2.0 and an optional 1x Gigabit LAN is available.
