HOT OFF THE PRESS!!! Brand New Board from VersaLogic

Is it a Bird?
Is it a Plane?
No!

FALCON
(VL-EPU-2610-E***) 

brand new
complete embedded computer from
VersaLogic!



The new 'Falcon' Embedded Processing Unit (EPU) combines processor, memory, video, and system I/O into an extremely compact embedded computer. Despite its diminutive size it packs a lot into a tiny space.

The Falcon is around the size of a credit card (a mere 55 mm x 84 mm), and only 22mm thick, making it a great choice for a range of applications, including Mil-Aero, Medical, Security, R&D and Robotics; industries that are always looking for smaller, lighter and lower power embedded systems, that still offer exceptional high reliability and long term availability.
Tipping the scales at under 115g, which is about the same as a smartphone, it’s also a seriously good solution for use in for portable applications and unmanned systems where Size, Weight and Power consumption (SWaP) are critical design elements.

The Falcon is VERY rugged - designed to withstand extreme temperature (-40º to +85ºC), it also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Soldered-on RAM and latching SATA, Ethernet, power, and main I/O connectors provide additional ruggedisation for use in the corners of the world where us mere mortals will never venture......

The spec sheet reads like an engineer's wish list -
  • Industrial Temperature Operation - -40º to +85ºC operation for harsh environments.
  • Fanless Operation - No moving parts for CPU cooling.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range - Accepts 8 to 17 volts (12V typ.).
  • High Performance Video - Graphics core supports MPEG-4/H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding and decoding.
  • Network - Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) with remote boot support.
  • RAM - Up to 2Gb soldered-on DDR2 RAM.
  • SATA - Supports SATA hard drives and mSATA flash storage options.
  • Mini PCIe Card Socket - Supports Wi-Fi modems , GPS, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, Solid State storage and other plug in devices.
  • Device I/O - Four serial ports, four USB ports, Intel Hi-Def Audio
Check out the Falcon datasheet here for a complete run down of spec and capabilities!

The Falcon will be available from stock starting in September of 2012.
