1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
With the Hurricane, LiPPERT offers a high-performance EPIC board with AMD’s Geode™ LX processor with very
low power requirements. The board integrates all peripherals needed to build an embedded PC on a small 115
mm x 165 mm (4.5” x 6.5”) printed circuit board. Together with a CS5536 I/O companion and a Super I/O chip, the
board is a complete PC with all the standard peripherals already on board. There is graphics controller with VGA,
LVDS, and parallel TFT adapters to connect many sorts of display terminals. Backlighting is provided for LCD
modules.
Two fast 100/10BaseT Ethernet ports, RS232/RS422/RS485 serial ports, and four USB 2.0 host ports handle the
communication with external devices. There are PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse as well as a parallel
printer port available. Sound I/O according to AC97 is supported, too. An IDE ATA100 adapter allows connection
of hard disk or CD drives. Applications that require non-moving storage can use the built-in µDOC interface and
connect a suitable Flash Drive to it.
The Hurricane is powered by a micro ATX supply and supports ACPI, advanced power management and PCI
power management. Additionally, digital and analog I/O is available for the application. There is a high speed data
input port for 8 bit data capture or video input with 300 Mb/s isochronous speed integrated to facilitate fast data
acquisition.
System expansion is easily done using the PC/104-Plus, the PC/104 or the Mini-PCI- connectors and adding
suitable specialized I/O modules.
