Introduction
1.1 General Description
AXIOMTEK new SBC84500 NS Geode Series is a 3.5" SBC which offers an
onboard NS Geode GX1-233 processor, plus support for Ethernet network
functions onboard features include VGA/TFT LCD, a Compact-Flash™ card
socket, and watchdog timer. With the 586-level NS Geode processor
mounted directly on board, upgrade and system configuration is much more
convenient as is the benefits of fan less operation in temperatures up to 60° C
(140° F). This board is a feature-packed, 586-level, hassle-free solution for
space critical applications.
The SBC84500 Series complies with the "Green Function" standard and
supports three types of power saving features: Normal, Doze, and Sleep
modes. The display type configuration is done through software. A single
Flash chip holds the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS. This minimizes the
number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS
simply by programming the Flash chip. If you need any additional
functions, the SBC84500 Series has a PC/104 connector for future upgrades.
