The VDX-6318 Single-Board-Computer (SBC) is an industrial SBC, designed with low-power consumption
to operate without fan using passive cooling, and able to operate in harsh temperature range from -20°C
to +70°C. Industrial grade version, able to operate from -40°C to +85°C, is available by special order.
Designed with the ultra-low power 800 MHz Vortex86DX System-On-Chip with integrated I/O
peripherals and soldered on 256MB DDR2 RAM provides sufficient system memory to support Windows
Embedded Compact 7, Windows XP Embedded and WEPOS. The integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet, two
USB 2.0 host interfaces, 4 serial ports, parallel port, GPIO and PC/104 interface provide connectivity to
broad range of external devices and systems with endless application possibility.
The VDX-6318 SBC supports multiple boot options and able to boot from the following resources:
IDE storage device (including IDE flash and hard disk)
USB floppy
USB storage
USB CD/DVD-ROM
Onboard SPI flash
Boot from Network via PXE
Board-Support-Package is available to support Windows Embedded CE 5.0, 6.0 and Windows Embedded
Compact 7. Device drivers are available to support Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded and WEPOS.
Designed with the matured x86 CPU architecture with rich set of integrated I/O and able to operate in
harsh environment, the VDX-6318 SBC is the suitable for broad range of application, such as industrial-
automation, process-control, robotics, instrumentation, human-machine-interface, medical device,
automotive, utility metering, network appliance, security access control, thin client, intelligent RFID
reader, home-building automation, point-of-sales, information kiosk and other embedded devices.
By integrating key peripherals into a product quality design, along with the support for the Windows
Embedded technologies, the VDX-6318 hardware platform can help developer minimize development
risk, significantly lower development cost and gain critical Time-to-Market advantage.
