The V7812 from GE Fanuc Intellitgent Platforms is our first SBC based on the newly-announced Intel® 5100 MCH (Memory Controller Hub) chipset. It provides six on-board PCI Express connections: one each to two Gigabit Ethernet controllers; one to the Tundra Tsi148 VME bridge; one to the two PMC PCI-X expansion sites; one to the ATI GPU; and one to the SAS controller. Superior graphics come by way of the ATI Radeon M72 graphics module. The M72 features AMD's unique Unified Shader Architecture, which offers advanced vertex and pixel processing. The M72 also delivers first class HD decoding, display quality and graphics horsepower. There are two graphics outputs on the front panel, one for VGA and one for DVI-I. Features of this Graphics Processing Unit include:
• 64-bit interface to 128 Mbyte GDDR3 memory
• Native PCI Express x16 bus interface with flexibility to operate in x16, x8, x4, x2, and x1 modes (x4 mode utilized on V7812)
• Maximum HDMI Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) The V7812 can be optionally ordered as a VXS board, providing an additional Gigabit Ethernet connection routed to P0 in addition to the standard dual Gigabit Ethernet connections on the front panel.
Support is provided for up to 4 GBytes of DDR2 ECC SDRAM, six USB 2.0 ports, and four Gigabit Ethernet ports (two via optional VXS). An optional 120 GBytes 2.5" SATA disk or 8 Gbyte SSD SATA drive can optionally be configured on the board. Operating system support is provided for Windows® XP and Linux®.
