Overview

COMMELL's LE-542 is an industrial embedded single board computer based on NS Geode platform, provides the 300 MHz of computing capacity at the low power, embedded, x86-compliant architecture for the industrial embedded computers. With NS Geode platform and high integration, COMMELL's LE-542 offers the value embedded computing platform for low power, low profile, fan free, mobile industrial applied computing applications based on the compact dimension of 180 x 140 mm (W x L). The onboard PCMCIA interface, low power consumption, low profile and high integration make LE-542 be the ideal solution for industrial embedded applications with the features as below.

• Low Power Embedded Computing Platform : based on NS Geode x86-compliant architecture, the LE-542 offers the 300 MHz of speed at ultra low power for embedded / fan free computing platform.
• Low Profile SO-DIMM : The onboard SO-DIMM socket support up to 256 MBytes of system memory capacity for space-saving, low profile embedded application.
• LVDS/TTL Flat Panel Interface : The integrated TTL and optional LVDS interface offers the digital video output for flat panel with built-in VGA controller and 4 MB video memory.
• PCMCIA Interface : The onboard PCMCIA Type-II socket supports one slot of PCMCIA based add-on card, including wireless IEEE802.11a/b, bluetooth, wireless modem, GPS, and other PC cards.
• Solid State Disk Interface : The LE-542 is integrated with both of 32-pin DIP DiskOnChip socket and CompactFlash Type-II socket, support M-systems DiskOnChip and CFC (Compact Flash Card) or IBM MicroDrive up to 1 GBytes of flash memory capacity. The onboard 44-pin IDE port can also support DiskOnModule (DOM) IDE-based flash disk.
• Embedded OS Support : The NS Geode platform supports the popular embedded OS including Microsoft WinCE, embedded Linux, QNX, VxWorks and other popular embedded OS for the industrial embedded applications.
• Long Term Supply : Not as 486 and 586 based systems, the NS Geode is the SOC (System On Chip) solution. The feature makes LE-542 free from the storage of the CPU, cache SRAM, video memory and other material. In the other word, the LE-542 can be supply as long as the NE Geode chipset.
