General Description:

The VIPER is an ultra low power PC104 compatible single board computer based on the Intel® 400MHz PXA255 XScale® RISC processor. The PXA255 is an implementation of the ARM compliant, Intel XScale microarchitecture combined with a comprehensive set of integrated peripherals including, a flat panel graphics controller, DMA controller, interrupt controller, real time clock and multiple serial ports.

The VIPER board offers a long list of features making it ideal for power sensitive embedded communications and multimedia applications. The board has been designed to take advantage of the power saving modes of the PXA255 processor and other onboard peripherals to achieve an incredible 1.9W maximum power consumption. The VIPER also supports a very low power standby mode of just 250mW.

The VIPER board includes a TFT/STN flat panel graphics controller, onboard soldered SDRAM and resident Flash, 10/100baseTx Ethernet, 5 serial ports, I²C controller, dual USB host controller, USB client, AC97 audio/codec, CompactFlash interface (CF+), and a standard PC/104 bus expansion connector. The PC/104 format is an industrial form factor measuring 3.8" x 3.6" (96mm x 91mm).

The VIPER is supported with Development Kits for the leading embedded operating systems including Windows CE 5.0, embedded Linux, VxWorks 5.5 and QNX Neutrino. Eurotech also provides support for RedBoot™ a utility based on the eCos RTOS, which serves as a simple boot manager and download tool for embedded Linux applications. To speed up the process of system integration, you can purchase individual cables and the Ethernet adapter module used within the VIPER ICE enclosure and the associated development kits. The VIPER board can be connected directly to the VIPER-I/O module to provide opto-isolated inputs, outputs, relay control, push switches and status LEDs.
