Introduction
Figure 1. The Harrier (VL-EPU-4011)
Features
The Harrier is an extremely small and rugged SWaP-optimized embedded computer. It
has been engineered and tested to meet the industry’s need for smaller, lighter and
lower power embedded systems. Slightly larger in size than a credit card and one inch
thick, the Harrier is a member of VersaLogic’s family of small, ultra-rugged embedded
x86 computers. Equipped with a powerful dual- or quad-core Intel “Apollo Lake”
processor and soldered-on ECC RAM, the Harrier is designed to withstand extreme
temperature, impact, and vibration.
Up to 8 GB of soldered-on Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory is available for high-
reliability applications. ECC memory is beneficial in environments where single bit
memory errors may occur, such as with cosmic ray interactions which increase
dramatically with altitude.
