AMD Geode™ LX EPIC Reference Design Kit

AMD Geode™ LX EPIC Reference Design Kit
High-Performance, Low-Power PC/104 Solution
EPIC design gets you
to market quickly with
industry-standard form factor
Product Overview
The AMD Geode™ LX EPIC Reference Design Kit (RDK)
gives you a complete system design so you can get to
market quickly with high-performance, low-power systems
for x86 embedded applications. This RDK helps you
respond quickly to high-growth markets and develop/design
highly efficient products that leverage PC/104 standards.
EPIC stands for Embedded Platform for Industrial
Computing – which provides a complete computer built on
a single circuit board that has multiple I/O options and plugand-play adaptability for hundreds of PC/104, PC/104-Plus,
and PCI/104 cards.
Small Form Factor
with Rich Features
The EPIC is a small but feature-rich form factor, and is a
widely accepted standard that delivers design flexibility,
compatibility with all PC/104 modules, and multiple I/O options.
Board complexity is reduced by the high integration of the
Geode LX and CS5536 I/O Companion along with optimized
memory design. This allows for a full-feature 6-layer EPIC
design on a single card with dimensions measuring
115mm x 165mm.
The AMD Geode LX EPIC RDK is powered by an
AMD Geode™ LX processor that provides full compatibility
with available x86 instruction sets and multiple operating
systems. The Single Board Computer is complemented by the
AMD Geode CS5536 companion device, which provides general
I/O support including USB 2.0, audio, and ATA 100.
Complete Lead-Free Design,
Six-Layer Technology
The AMD Geode LX EPIC RDK is designed and produced to meet
the latest international standards for lead-free components, so you
can leverage the design with confidence that it is future proof.
The AMD Commitment
to Low-Power x86
All Geode RDKs and other advanced development tools demonstrate
the AMD commitment to low-power, customer-focused solutions
for the ever-growing x86 marketplace. AMD strives to develop
technologies and products that enable you to shorten design cycles
and move to market quickly with high-performance embedded
x86 products.
