ReadyBox Users Guide 3
• ReadyBoard™ 710 – This EPIC single board computer (SBC) used for high volume embedded
applications provides designers with a low cost, low-power alternative to the high cost of high
performance processors. Through the use of advanced chipset technology with the Intel 650MHz
LV Celeron CPU, the ReadyBoard 710 provides DDR memory, USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet
and advanced AGP 8x video. In addition to the standard ReadyBoard features (4.5” x 6.5” form
factor, PC-style connectors, PCI-104, +5 volt only power, etc.), the ReadyBoard 710 supports two
primary IDE drives, one CompactFlash Socket on secondary IDE, eight GPIO pins, four RS232
serial ports with the RS485/RS422 option for two ports, 10/100BaseT and 1000BaseT Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces, four USB 2.0 ports, IrDA, and AC’97 sound ports. It also supports up to 1GB
of DDR SDRAM in an SODIMM socket and up to 64MB UMA of AGP 8X video with built-in
LVDS, CRT, and 36-bit TFT support.
• ReadyBoard™ 800 – This EPIC single board computer (SBC) is used for high volume embedded
applications and provides designers with a low cost, low-power choice of high performance Intel
1.4GHz LV Pentium M 738, 1.1GHz LV Pentium M, or 600MHz ULV Celeron M processor. In
addition to the standard ReadyBoard features (4.5” x 6.5” form factor, PC-style connectors,
PC/104-Plus, +5 volt only power, etc.), the ReadyBoard 800 supports two primary IDE drives,
one CompactFlash Socket on secondary IDE, eight GPIO pins, four RS232 serial ports with the
RS485/RS422 option for two ports, Gigabit 1000BaseT and 10/100BaseT Ethernet interfaces,
four USB 2.0 ports, IrDA, and AC’97 sound ports. It also supports up to 1GB of DDR RAM in
an SODIMM socket and up to 64MB UMA of AGP 4X video with built-in LVDS and CRT
support.
Other Ampro Products
• CoreModule™ Family – These complete embedded-PC subsystems on single PC/104 or PC/104-
Plus form-factor (3.6x3.8 inches) modules feature 486, VIA Eden ESPs, Celeron, and Celeron M
CPUs. Each CoreModule includes a full complement of PC core logic functions, plus disk
controllers, and serial and parallel ports. Most modules also include CRT and flat panel graphics
controllers and/or an Ethernet interface. The CoreModules also come with built-in extras to meet
the critical reliability requirements of embedded applications. These include onboard solid state
disk compatibility, watchdog timer, smart power monitor, and Ampro embedded BIOS
extensions.
• LittleBoard™ Family – These high-performance, highly integrated single-board computers use
the EBX form factor (5.75x8.00 inches), and are available with the Intel Pentium M or Celeron
M, Pentium III and Celeron, and VIA Eden processors. The EBX-compliant LittleBoard single-
board computers offer functions equivalent to a complete laptop or desktop PC system, plus
several expansion cards. Built-in extras to meet the critical requirements of embedded
applications include onboard solid state disk capability, watchdog timer, smart power monitor,
and Ampro embedded BIOS extensions.
• MiniModule™ Family – This extensive line of peripheral interface modules compliant with
PC/104 and PC/104-Plus standards can be used with Ampro CoreModule, LittleBoard, and
ReadyBoard single-board computers to configure embedded system solutions. Ampro's highly
reliable MiniModule products currently support USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), Ethernet, PC
Card expansion, analog/data acquisition, additional RS232/RS485 serial ports, and general-
purpose I/O (GPIO).
• ETX Family – These high-performance, compact, rugged Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions
use various x86 processors from VIA Eden ESP to Pentium M CPUs in an ETX Revision 2.6
form factor to plug into your custom baseboard. Each ETX module provides standard
peripherals, including dual Ultra/DMA 33/66/100 IDE, floppy drive interface, PCI bus, ISA bus,
serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB ports, Video,
and AC’97 sound. ETX modules support up to 512MB or more of SODIMM DRAM. Optional
–40°C to +85°C operation, along with tall FX8C connectors, and a 50% thicker PCB are
available to meet your rugged application requirements.
