Development Kit Overview
2 Development Kit Overview
The development kit is shipped with the following:
Platform:
o Intel® Atom™ N450 or D510 Compute Module
o Mini-ITX carrier board
External Power Supply Brick
2.1 Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 and D510
Compute Modules
The Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 and D510 Compute Modules are a new class of
platforms which are part of a broader family of compute modules. The Compute
Module family is a set of interchangeable compute modules and reference platforms.
The platforms are based on a new module design which emphasizes minimal PCB
footprint, while maintaining scalability across a broad range of price, performance and
power consumption vectors. Each module implements a JEDEC 244-pin DIMM
connector to provide unmatched I/O capability in a small form-factor. This high
density connector architecture allows each module in the family to support all of the
I/O required to support a range of embedded computing requirements.
The first modules in the family are based on the Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 and
D510 with the Intel® 82801HM I/O Hub (ICH8M).
