Jul. 11, 2005

Win Enterprises is sampling an embedded board in a custom form-factor it says was designed to support a fanless Pentium M or Celeron M CPU in the smallest package possible. The IP-06058 comes with Linux drivers, and targets industrial automation, medical, scientific, and military/aerospace applications.

  • Video -- CRT and LVDS
  • Audio:
    • RealTek ALC650 AC-97 codec
    • Mic in, speaker out
  • 10/100 Ethernet port
  • Other I/O ports:
    • Three RS-232 and one RS-232 / 485 serial ports
    • Bi-directional parallel port; supports SPP, ECP, and EPP modes
    • Three USB 2.0 ports
    • PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports
    • IDE port, spports Ultra DMA 33 / 66 / 100 modes
    • Floppy interface

    • Mini-PCI expansion slot
  • Mechanical:
    • Single +5V power supply
    • Operating Temperature -- 32 to 140 degrees F (0 to 60 C)
  • OSes supported:
    • Linux; Windows 95, 98, NT, XP Embedded
Availability

The IP-06058 is available now as an evaluation unit, priced at $305 with a 600MHz Celeron processor. Volume discounts are available, with a lead time of four weeks.
