PYTHON EBX Single Board Computer  AMD Geode LX 800 processor  Up to 1GB DDR RAM  Integrated video  PC/104-Plus expansion  CompactFlash socket  RoHS-compliant  Standard and extended temp versions Overview Highlights The Python is a mid-performance single board computer that offers lower power consumption EBX Form Factor and superior performance over previous generation embedded computers. Advancements in PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion with a full complement of technology allow the Python to be a more flexible core component in any embedded system, on-board I/O. and reduce the amount of development time required to add specialized I/O or custom peripheral Geode LX 800 Processor devices. The highly efficient AMD LX 800 processor is integrated with a wide range of on-board 500 MHz performance with lower power draw. I/O from standard PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interfaces to versatile analog and digital I/O. With dual Ethernet channels, USB 2.0 ports, RS-232 and RS-422 COM ports, and fanless operation, the High Performance Video Python is ideal for industrial control and data acquisition applications. The Python is available Analog and LVDS flat panel outputs for 18 and 24-bit displays. in several versions, including models for standard and extended temperature operation. Network Support Dual 10/100 Ethernet provides fast network access and boot Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is designed to support OEM applications ROM support. where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+ years production life, its quality and longevity provide a cost-effective, long-term solution. USB Ports Customization is available on as few as 100 pieces. The Python is manufactured and tested Four USB 2.0 ports provide flexible I/O options for keyboard, mouse, floppy drives, and other devices. to the highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations, and is backed by a two year limited warranty. Integrated I/O Four COM ports (two RS-232, two RS-232/422/485), one IDE interface, and one LPT port with SPP and enhanced modes. Details Digital and Analog I/O The Python features the AMD LX 800 processor, which offers 500 MHz performance while 32 lines of digital I/O, eight 12-bit analog channels, and three drawing less than 5 watts of power. This highly-integrated processor, along with its companion pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs. chip, provide the majority of the Python’s on-board I/O, including USB support, audio, and CompactFlash Socket video. The high resolution video output can be configured for either standard desktop-type Removable non-volatile media has no moving parts and is displays or LVDS flat panels. bootable. For cost-effective I/O expansion without the need for additional PC/104 modules, the Python Fanless Operation includes VersaLogic’s new SPX interface. SPX modules provide an inexpensive solution for No moving parts required for CPU cooling. additional I/O including analog, digital, CANbus, relay switching, and more. In addition, the Embedded BIOS simple SPX interface, which is based on Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) signaling, can be OEM embedded features and firmware support. Field-upgradeable, used to easily design custom user I/O devices. customization available. The board features a General Software Embedded BIOS with OEM enhancements. This BIOS Cost Effective Expansion supports custom defaults and the addition of firmware and firmbase applications for security PC/104, PC/104-Plus and SPX™ expansion sites. processes, remote booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Python is compatible with a variety of popular operating systems, including Windows, QNX, VxWorks, and Linux.
