Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LP-176 is pico Motherboard which is design based on Intel® Pentium® Processor N3000
Series Processor(Braswell SoC), delivering outstanding compute, graphical, and media
performance while operating in an extended range of thermal conditions. The SoC bases on
the Silvermont microarchitecture, utilizing Intel’s industry-leading 14nm process technology
with 3-D Tri-Gate transistors, which deliver significant improvements in computational
performance and energy efficiency.
New features
The Intel® Pentium® N3000 Series Processor and Atom™ x5 Processor Series have a
lower TDP 6W, it provides new HD Graphics to support triple display, 4K resolution,
maximum memory size is up to 8GB of DDR3L, and more enhanced security that is suitable
for a variety of intelligent systems the ideal choice.
All in One multimedia solution
The board provides high performance onboard graphics, 18/24-bit single/dual channel
LVDS interface, DisplayPort, HDMI, and High Definition Audio, to meet the very requirement
of the multimedia application.
Flexible Expansion Interface
The board provides one MiniPCIe and support mSATA.
Braswell remove EHCI, all USB ports are xHCI
When you install Windows7 with USB device(CDROM, Keyboard, Mouse...), Windows7 can
not identify your usb device. You can use SATA CD-ROM and PS/2 to install Windows7.
