Description

The SBC-iGLX is a standard PC/104+ compliant, single board computer. It is implemented by a CM-iGLX module providing most of the functions, and a SB-iGLX carrier board providing connectors and several additional functions. The rich feature set of the SBC-iGLX is customizable according to the price / performance targets of the user's application.

The SBC-iGLX contains PC/104+ expansion connectors which open it to the wide range of standard peripheral cards. Furthermore, the SBC-iGLX contains an electrical interface and slots for CardBus extension cards, which may be inserted and secured in the slot with no additional mechanical means, extending the system with capabilities such as a larger solid state disk, GPS or GSM modem.

Specifications

The "SB Option" column specifies the P/N code of the SB-iGLX carrier board required to have the particular feature. The "CM Option" column specifies the P/N code of the CM-iGLX required to have the particular feature. SBC-iGLX content is the combination of features provided by the attached CM-iGLX and the features implemented on the SB-iGLX. To have a particular feature, both the CM and SB options of that feature must be implemented.
"+" means that the feature is always available, regardless of P/N code.
