1.3 Product Description
The VEX-6254 family of low-power x86 embedded controller is designed to meet PC/104
specification, and integrated with the following features.
400 MHz Vortex86EX SoC
128MB DDR3 system memory
10/100Mbps Ethernet
3 USB 2.0 (host)
Up to 4 serial ports
Audio
16-bit GPIO
Onboard 8MB SPI Flash
Mini PCI-E interface
2 watchdog timer
Coreboot BIOS
Single voltage +5V DC
Support extended operating
temperature range of -20°C to +70°C
The Vortex86EX series is the newest member of ICOP family with compact size and ultra-low
power consumption. It packs 16KB write through 4-way L1 cache, 128KB write through/write
back 4-way L2 cache, 2.5Ghz PCI-E Bus, DDR3, ROM controller, I²C, SPI, Fast Ethernet, FIFO
UART, USB2.0 Host, CAN, and SD/SATA controllers.
With DDR3 RAM alongside, 400MHz Vortex86EX delivers equivalent calculating power of
familiar DX series. In addition, its distinguishing characteristic of extremely lower power
consumption also makes it a great solution for relatively simple application such as data
collection.
