Chapter 1. Introduction
To rise to the challenges of the system heating issues and more and more demands of
diminutive embedded system in diverse applications, we designed and made ENDAT-GX201
system board as an ultimate solution integrated with AMD GEODE GX technology CPU.
ENDAT-GX201 is not only the ideal solution for Hi-End POS systems, but also could be well
adapted to various applications such as kiosks, networking systems, controlling terminals
and other embedded systems with FANLESS environment.
ENDAT-GX201 is designed with AMD GEODE GX 500 and the CS5536. One DDR
DIMM socket supports 200MHz up to 512MB DD R. Th e DR AM contr oller sup ports
standard DDR200 Synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM).
ENDAT-GX201 integrates 2D graphics controller which enables ENDAT-GX201 to
support TFT LCD panel or CRT/LCD monitor (not support LCD + CRT operate
mode).
ENDAT-GX201 suppo rts TFT LCD p anels through the TTL or L VDS interface, which
includes 9-bit, 12-bit, 18-bit, and 24-bit of TTL or LVDS interfaces.
Resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 for TFT LCD or 16 00 x 1200 for CRT/LCD monitor.
ENDAT-GX201 has one standard PCI slot as well as a miniPCI socket support
standard PCI adapter with PCI 2.2 compliant; moreover, it has PC104 module
connector reserved as optional feature.
The ideal solution of ENDA T-GX201
- POS system
- KIOSK
- Interactive system
- Airport Terminal Controller
- Industrial controller
- Digital entertainment
- Embedded system equipment
