 Men’s SBC F18 is equipped with Intel’s Core 2 Duo processor T7500 with a frequency of 2.2 GHz, optionally also with L7500 or U7500. The board provides a 667/800-MHz frontside bus. The F18 is a 32-bit/33 MHz system slot or stand-alone board and needs one slot on the CompactPCI bus. In combination with a PCI Express side card the F18 can also be used as a system slot board in CompactPCI Express systems. Thanks to a soldered 4GB DDR2 SDRAM, a CompactFlash slot and a SATA hard disk slot (on the side card) the SBC offers abundant memory space for the application. Standard I/O on the front panel includes VGA graphics, two Gigabit Ethernet connected via PCI Express as well as two USB 2.0 interfaces. Additional I/O is realised on different side cards and includes DVI, Audio, additional USB interfaces, UART interfaces and FireWire. Different Watchdogs for monitoring the processor and board temparature as well as rear I/O support complete the functionality of the F18 which comes into the market with board support packages for Windows, Linux and VxWorks.
