Lanner Releases Economical Intel Atom based 3.5” Single Board Computer.

Feb. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- (February 3rd, 2010) Today Lanner Electronics Inc. announced the release of the VES-300, a low power and economically priced 3.5” single board computer.  Utilizing the 945GSE + ICH7M chipset and powered by an Intel ATOM N270 processor, this SBC is designed to be deployed in a variety of industrial and commercial settings.  The VES-300 has SATA support, comes with a CompactFlash socket and holds up to 2GBs of RAM.  It comes with 6 USB and 4 COM ports for peripheral connectivity and 2 Ethernet ports for network communication.

The VES-300 is built around the Intel ATOM N270, which consumes less power and has a small thermal footprint, while still offering solid 1.6GHz of processing power.  The motherboard is designed to be integrated in a fanless system, relying only on a passive CPU heatsink for cooling.  It can operate between 0oC and 60oC.  

This SBC is designed for vibrant displays with integrated graphics via Intel 945GSE.  The VES-300 supports VGA and LVDS outputs.  On the VES-300 is a SDVO LVDS transmitter, which enables the LVDS output to operate at 24 bits, rather than 18.  This higher bandwidth enables the VES-300 to display more colors for larger, more vibrant displays.  

As stated above there are a variety of ports and connectors to satisfy even the most complex of deployment scenarios.  There are 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 COM ports.  Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports are controlled via a Realtek RTL8111C.  There is a Mic-in and Line-out for audio applications.

Tacked on this 3.5” board is one SO-DIMM slot capable of holding a maximum of 2GB of RAM, a CompactFlash Socket and a SATA port for a hard drive or solid state drive.

The VES-300 supports Linux kernel 2.4.16 or above, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows 2000, XP Embedded and CE Embedded 6.0 operating systems.
