 ETX
Form-Factor Embedded-Ready Subsystem with PC/104-Plus Expansion and Configurable
CPU
Pluto is a high performance, highly integrated board-level
embedded-ready subsystem that matches the footprint of the popular ETX
computer-on-module (COM) standard.
Pluto's CPU core consists of an ETX CPU
module mounted on its bottom side, an approach that improves thermal
management and increases the
space for I/O functions and connectors. This innovative design has
enabled Pluto to integrate additional serial and Ethernet controllers,
a complete
set of peripheral interface header connectors, and a PC/104-Plus expansion
stack location - all within the compact ETX footprint.
Pluto is offered
in a range of models that vary according to the choice of ETX
CPU module and on-board SO-DIMM SDRAM capacity. It can be used
either as a highly integrated embedded component, or as a platform
for application development and reference designs.
Pluto's baseboard includes
connectors and interfaces for keyboard, mouse, USB, serial, parallel,
Ethernet, sound, various mass storage devices.
It supports the connection of a wide variety of displays, including
CRTs, 18-bit or 24-bit LVDS-interfaced flat panels, and televisions.
Power
is supplied by means of a robust six-pin terminal block.
