EK01 - ESM Starter Kit with Pentium® III

Product Description

Embedded System Modules are complete computers on a module. A final ESM-based embedded application consists either of a stand-alone ESM (the power supply connection being sufficient to operate the module), an ESM with an application-specific carrier card and/or an ESM with additionally plugged PCI-104 modules.
The EK01 is a ready-to-use starter kit that allows evaluation of the functions of the EM02 Embedded System Module. The kit consists of the standard CPU module, DRAM memory, the carrier card with I/O connectors, an external PSU, and an adapter for mounting a PCI-104 module. The EK01 provides versatile mounting options and can also be installed in a standard PC (including a PCI-104 module).
After evaluation, the design overhead for each application is limited to I/O. Depending on the application and quantity it may be necessary to develop a simple carrier card, choose PCI-based standard components, write software drivers for those additional functions, or design a housing. This minimal additional design effort can be carried out by the user or by MEN.
The EM02 is an ideal computing platform for embedded industrial PCs under Windows® or Linux. It is controlled by an Ultra-Low Power Pentium® III with 933MHz or an Ultra-Low Voltage Celeron® Processor with 400MHz. It provides 16KB L1 and 512KB/256KB L2 cache. The EM02 uses the Intel® 815G chip set, including graphics. It provides one VGA connector, one USB 1.1 connector Type A and one Gigabit Ethernet interface at the front panel. It also provides 512MB of DRAM and a CompactFlash slot on board. As an alternative to onboard USB, legacy I/O is routed to the carrier board via the J2 system connector of the EM02. It includes a serial interface, (E)IDE, a floppy interface, as well as two PS/2 interfaces for keyboard and mouse.
The carrier board has an ATX-compatible format and provides the mechanical platform, the power supply and the I/O connectors. It comes with one ESM slot and three PCI slots, which allow the use of standard extension cards in the PC. It is equipped with USB 2.0 (front), a 9-pin D-Sub for an RS232 serial interface (front) and connectors for IDE and floppy. The ESM carrier also features an I2C EEPROM for the board ID and revision information.
DVI/TFT/video are not supported on the EK01 kit but are available on the EM02 itself for implementation as a hub interface on other (custom) carrier cards.
