The ALUDRA processor board provides all the benefits of Intel's Atom™ LPIA architecture in an EBX form factor.
Chipset
Using Intel's Hi-K 45nm technology the Intel® N270™ processor delivers the benefits of Intel's x86 architecture with exceptional performance per-watt. The processor is matched with an Intel® 945GSE™ graphics and memory controller and Intel® ICH7-M™ IO controller hub. The ALUDRA offers high performance x86 compatibility in a fanless design that requires only a fraction of the power previously needed for comparable systems.
Interfaces
A full range of on board peripherals are provided including 6 x USB 2.0 ports, VGA, LVDS, serial digital video, TV-Out, Audio, 3 x RS2332, RS422/485, 2 x Ethernet, GPIO, IDE, 2 x SATA. Expansion requirements are well covered by a combination of PC/104 (ISA), PC/104+ (PCI) and 2 x PCIe MiniCard sockets, so interfacing to real-world I/O or the latest wireless technology is easy. Requiring 20W of power running at 1.6GHz the ALUDRA has all the functionality and connectivity previously associated with much more power-hungry systems.
Memory
The ALUDRA comes with up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM. Further solid state Flash expansion is available via a CompactFlash socket.
Operating Systems
ALUDRA is compatible with all major desktop operating systems and is also available with pre-installed ready to run embedded operating systems including Windows XP Embedded® and Fedora Linux®.
