The SBC324 Rugged Single Board Computer
(SBC) from GE Intelligent Platforms features
the high performance, highly integrated 2
Generation Core i7 processor platform from
Intel.
2nd Generation Core i7 with fully integrated
graphics and memory controller plus dual
and quad core processing up to 2.5 GHz
offers better performance per watt — all in
one device. Coupled with the Intel QM67
chipset, this provides an unmatched level of
I/O bandwidth for both on-board and offboard functions.
Features of the 2nd Gen Core i7 processor
Intel® vPro technology:
•
- Intel® VT adds hardware assisted
performance acceleration
- Intel® TXT is a hardware based security
foundation to build and maintain a
chain of trust, to protect the platform
from software based attacks

processing cores (2 threads per core) –
provides increased performance and
processing efficiency
In addition to a comprehensive range of
onboard IO features, the SBC324 also offers an
on-board XMC mezzanine expansion site for
enhanced system flexibility. Memory resources
include up to 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM with ECC, 32
GB NAND Flash, and optional hard drive via
XMC.
The SBC324 is designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications from
industrial through to fully rugged Defense and
Aerospace programs. It offers extended
temperature capability and a range of air and
conduction cooled build levels.
A rich software choice is planned for the
SBC324, including comprehensive Deployed
Test Software (BIT and BCS) plus OS support for
Windows 7, Open Linux, and VxWorks®.
