1.3.1.4. Graphics Interface
The on-board graphics controller is a PCI-based chip (SM 712). Maximum display resolution is 1280 * 1024 * 60 Hz @24
bit/pixel.
Resolution fps
800x600 60, 75, 85
1024x768 60, 75, 85
1280x1024 60
1.3.1.5. Boot PROM
Boot code is stored in a Flash EPROM (size 512 or 1024 kB) which enables easy code updates. The boot proms contains
the BIOS, an version from AMI with PXE netboot.
1.3.1.6. Ethernet Interfaces
The network interfaces uses a PCI-X-based Ethernet controller i82541PI for 10/100/1000 Mbps transfers with 10BaseT
(twisted pair), 100Base TX or 1000Base TX connectivity. Automatic speed detection is included. A Link signal and an
Activity signal allow a connection of LEDs for an easy first check if the Ethernet connection works.
1.3.1.7. COM Express Interface
The COM Express interface is implemented as type 2. The interface uses the signals: two x8 PCIe, one x4 PCIe, one x1
PCIe, PCI 33/32, VGA, UB 2.0, one Ethernet port, IDE, serial ATA.
1.3.1.8. Timer
The EUROCOM 450 has three standard PC programmable timers for timing interrupts in the 1 us to 1000 ms range.
1.3.1.9. Operating Systems
As a Core 2 Duo based CPU board with a complete BIOS, the EUROCOM 450 can of course be run under Windows.
Compliant with the ELTEC Linux Initiative, the EUROCOM 450 additionally supports implementations of Standard Linux
and Embedded Linux - applications for both operating systems can be designed under Linux. Linux is best when a full
operating system is needed. Embedded Linux is for applications with the smallest footprint.
1.3.1.10. Miscellaneous
The EUROCOM 450 is intended for use on COM Express carrier boards, that can be equipped with additional I/O, such as
network interfaces, super I/O chips, field busses, as well as all I/O connectors that are needed.
1.3.1.11. Industry-grade Case
As an option, the EUROCOM 450 can be ordered in an industrial-grade case, made of steel. This case has a
motherboard-style carrier with three free PCIe slots and two free PCI slots; it has a power supply with sufficient cooling
fans for the EUROCOM 450 and the peripheral boards.
