1. INTRODUCTION 

Welcome to the AR-B1631 Single Board Computer. The AR-B1631 board Low power GX3 series Processors with 
the advanced chipset CS5536(CS5535). This product is designed for the system manufacturers, integrators, or 
VARs that want to provide all the performance, reliability, and quality at a reasonable price. 
 
In addition, the AR-B1631 provides on chip VGA. The VGA, which provides up to True Color (32 bit) 1024x768, or 
High Color (16 bit) 1280x1024 resolution. The VGA memory is share main memory (2M, 4M, or 8M). AR-B1631 
also has 18-bit LVDS function in the system. 
 
The AR-B1631 is loaded with special on-board features that rival full-size systems. It has one network controller on 
board, uses Realtek RTL8100BL LAN controller, a fully integrated 10/100BASE-TX solution with high performance 
networking functions. Supports Compact Flash™

 

Type II interface. Plus optional support for AC97 sound with 

CD-input. The AR-B1631 also includes one 200-pin SO-DIMM DDR sockets for up to 512 MB total on-board 
memory. The AR-B1631 has four on-board serial ports; COM1 with RS232C,COM2, COM3 and COM4 with 
RS232C, 4 USB ports, and tough industrial grade construction. All these features make the AR-B1631 a very 
"system integrator friendly" solution, perfect for handling applications in the harshest unmanned environments.
