Overview
The Manx is a compact, rugged single board computer that combines a high degree of functionality
with low power requirements and no moving parts. The inherent ruggedness of the Manx’s PC/104
size combined with the low power AMD Geode LX 800 processor make this board a great fit for
vehicular/aircraft controls, medical electronics, and many other OEM applications.
The Manx has an impressive list of on-board features, including high-performance video
with flat panel support, 10/100 Ethernet, four USB ports, three COM ports, LPT port, and IDE
interface. A CompactFlash socket provides bootable media storage and TVS devices provide
enhanced ESD protection on user I/O ports. The Manx includes 256 MB of soldered-on RAM
for use in applications requiring a high degree of ruggedness.
Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is designed to support OEM applications
where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+
years production life, its quality and longevity provide a cost-effective, long-term solution. The
Manx is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS
regulations, and is backed by a two year limited warranty. Customization is available on as
few as 100 pieces.
Details
The Manx features the AMD Geode LX 800 processor, which offers outstanding performance
and low power draw (5W). This highly-integrated processor provides fast on-board transfers
(6 GB per second), high-speed memory access, and integrated high-performance video
with both analog and LVDS flat panel support. It is available in both standard temperature
(0° to +60°C) and extended temperature (-40° to +85°C) versions.
The suspend-to-RAM power management feature supports a very low power sleep mode
(0.2W) for use between active sessions.
The Manx can operate as a stand-alone SBC or can be combined with specialized PC/104 or
PC/104-Plus I/O boards for additional functionality. Pass-through connectors for the PC/104 and
PC/104-Plus interfaces provide support for many off-the-shelf I/O boards and also provide an
interface for custom baseboards that may be larger than the Manx. In addition, the Manx has
been designed to provide a migration path for VersaLogic Puma (VL-EPM-5x) SBC users.
The Manx includes several features to support reliable operation in the field, including TVS
devices and fanless cooling. The TVS devices provide enhanced ESD protection for the analog
video output, USB, COM, LPT, and Ethernet ports.
