SBC offers both PCI-104 and Mini PCI Express expansion
Jul 28, 2010 — by Eric Brown — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 1 viewsAcrosser announced a single board computer (SBC) built around the Intel Atom N450 processor. The AR-B6050 offers up to 2GB of DDR2 memory, CompactFlash and SATA storage, dual gigabit Ethernet ports, six USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, plus PCI-104 and Mini PCI Express, says the company.
Designed for a variety of "cost effective" industrial computer applications, the AR-B6050 takes advantage of Intel Atom N450 "Pineview" processor, says Acrosser. The company touts the 5.7 x 4.0-inch (146 x 102mm) "3.5-inch" SBC for its low power consumption but did not quantify it.
