Nine new single board computers

Paul Boughton

The BVM Group has announced a suite of three different physical sizes of single board computers (SBCs) based on the next-generation Baytrail Mobile processors: the Celeron J1900, the N2930 and the Atom E3845 low-power system-on-chip (SoC), which integrate the processor core, 7th generation (Gen 7) graphics, memory controller, and I/O interfaces into a single system-on-chip solution. 

These new SBCs are designed for intelligent systems and applications with low power consumption and high performance requirements. The boards are a suitable platform for kiosk, digital signage, medical equipment, point-of-sale, gaming machines and Industrial control systems. The quad core SOC processors are all 64bit: the J1900 is a 10W 2GHz processor; the N2930 a low power 7.5W 1.85GHz CPU and the Atom E3845 is a 10W 1.91GHz unit.

The LV-67O is a 170 x 170mm Mini-ITX board with up to 8GB of SO-DIMM in two slots. Dual display capable, it supports VGA, DVI, two dual-channel LVDS and DisplayPort video interfaces with integrated HD audio.

I/O includes a single RS232/422/485 and five RS232 ports, seven USB2.0 and a USB3.0 port, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and SATAII and CFast CompactFlash mass storage interfaces. One PCIe x16 slot and one PCIe mini card socket enables a mSATA or other expansion.

The 100 x 72mm Pico-ITX LP-173 has up to 8GB DDR3L SO-DIMM in a single slot. Also dual display capable, it supports VGA, DVI, two dual-channel LVDS interfaces with integrated HD audio. Two RS232,  three USB2.0 and one USB3.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port and a PCIe mini card socket form the I/O capability.

The 3.5 inch LE-37D comes with dual-display VGA, two LVDS channels, DVI and DisplayPort capability with HD audio. It supports up to 8 GB of SO-DIMM in a single slot. The I/O includes a RS232/422/485 and five RS232 ports, SATAII and CFast interfaces, two Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports five USB2.0 and a USB3.0 ports. HD Audio. Expansion capability is enabled with two PCIe mini card and one SIM sockets.

For all three SBCs power is supplied from an external 9V to 24V DC input; in addition, the LV-67O can be powered from a standard ATX PSU.
