The EPM-15 is a PC/104-
Plus
-compliant single board computer with an AMD LX processor. The
board is compatible with popular operating systems such as Windows, QNX, VxWorks and
Linux.
The EPM-15 features high reliability design and construction, including friction latching I/O
connectors, voltage sensing reset circuits, and self-resetting fuses on the 5V supply to the USB
ports.
EPM-15 boards are subjected to 100% functional testing and are backed by a limited two-year
warranty. Careful parts sourcing and US-based technical support ensure the highest possible
quality, reliability, service and product longevity for this exceptional SBC.
A full complement of standard I/O ports is included on the board. Additional I/O expansion is
available through the high-speed PC/104-
Plus
(PCI) and PC/104 (ISA) connectors. The EPM-15
is equipped with a multifunction utility cable, CBR-5010 (breakout board), that provides standard
I/O interfaces, including three COM ports, four USB ports, two LEDs, and a pushbutton reset,
among others.
