The EBC-855-G is an EBX-compatible Intel 1-GHz ultra-low-power Celeron (Dothan core) SBC that operates over an industrial temperature range of –40° to 70°C. Target applications include MIL/COTS, industrial automation, medical/diagnostic equipment, communications, security, test and measurement, and outdoor transaction terminals.

The EBC-855-G is a full-featured SBC with a variety of onboard peripherals that eliminate the need for additional standard I/O peripheral cards. It’s based on the Intel’s popular 855GME chipset with the ICH4 communications controller and integrated Extreme Graphics 2 video 3-D controller. Both the CPU and system controller are supplied from Intel’s Embedded Architecture Division for long-term availability.

It supports a maximum of 1 GB of industry-standard PC2700 SDRAM, up to 8 GB of CompactFlash, and support for hard and floppy disk drives. The EBC-855-G offers a full set of I/O interfaces including a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port (with remote boot capability). It also offers a VGA and dual-channel LVDS flat panel video, a miniPCI connector that supports an optional 802.11 wireless networking module, four USB 2.0 ports, four serial COM ports, AC97 audio (5.1 codec), LPT, and a PS/2 port for a keyboard and mouse. An onboard, software-programmable, 48-line digital I/O controller provides input, output, or output with read back for each I/O line. The board also is populated with both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interface connectors for support of additional off-the-shelf or user-designed specialty I/O modules.

The EBC-855-G board costs $595.
