Trio of devices uses Intel's dual-core Atom D510

IEI announced three new devices using Intel's dual-core, 1.66GHz Atom D510 CPU. They include the PM-PV-D510 PCI-104 SBC (single board computer), the PICOe-PV-D510 PCI Express CPU card, and the IBX-300 video-capturing box PC, the company says.
IEI's three new devices all employ Intel's dual-core, 1.66GHz D510 processor, announced last December. This 22 x 22mm "Pineview" processor incorporates on-chip GMA3150 graphics and offers a TDP of 13 Watts, according to Intel. It's said the CPU may be paired with either the NM10 or the larger 82801HM (ICH8M) [PDF link, here], the second of which IEI has employed for its new products. A PCI-104 SBC IEI's PM-PV-D510 is a 3.7 x 3.7-inch (95 x 95mm) SBC with stackable PCI-104 connectors, offering access to a PCI expansion bus. The device also has one SATA II port, but its other interfaces all reach the outside world via pin headers (below left) and matching cables (packed with the board). These include 18-bit LVDS video, four USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports (one RS232, one RS232/422/485), a PS/2 port, and gigabit Ethernet, according to the company.  IEI's PM-PV-D510 (Click to enlarge) IEI says the device accepts up to 2GB of DDR2 memory via a 200-pin DIMM slot (above right), and also offers a Type II CompactFlash slot. Employing 5VDC power, the SBC is compatible with ATX power supplies and has an operating range from 32 to 140 deg. F (0 to 60 deg. C), according to the company. A data sheet for the PM-PV-D510 may be found on the IEI website, here [PDF link]. A half-size PCI Express CPU card IEI's PICOe-PV-D510 puts similar technology onto a half-size PCI Express CPU card measuring 7.28 x 4.8 inches (185 x 122mm). Via dual connectors, this card offers four PCI expansion interfaces and either one PCI Express x4 or four PCI Express x1 interfaces, according to the company.  IEI's PICOe-PV-D510 (Click to enlarge) The card's bracket-mounted connectors (above left) include a VGA output, a USB 2.0 port, two gigabit Ethernet connectors, and a PS/2 port, IEI says. Meanwhile, the card also has three SATA II ports, the company adds. Other interfaces, all via headers, are said to include two RS232 ports, a parallel port, six more USB 2.0 ports, an IR connector, and 8-bit digital I/O (four in, four out). According to IEI, the PICOe-PV-D510 has 512MB of soldered-on DDR2 memory. A single 200-pin SODIMM slot allows adding more RAM, though the device will only see a maximum of 2GB, the company says. The board is further said to include a Type II CompactFlash slot. A data sheet for the PICOe-PV-D510 may be found on the IEI website, here [PDF link]. A fanless box for video capture IEI's IBX-300 employs the same dual-core Atom processor and I/O controller as the above two devices, but harnesses them for real-time video capture. The device captures up to eight standard-definition NTSC video channels at 30fps, or just as many PAL/SECAM channels at 25fps, the company says.  IEI's IBX-300 (Click to enlarge) According to IEI, the IBX-300's video magic is weaved courtesy of a Conexant CX25853 encoder chip, along with a CX25821 PCI Express media bridge. Signals are said to enter the device via a pair of cables, each equipped with four BNC connectors on one end, plus DB9 connectors on the other end that match up to those on the computer's front panel (above). Other interfaces on the IBX-300 include a gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear), a VGA output, and an RS232 serial port, IEI says. A configuration of the IBX-300 with a built-in wireless LAN adapter and matching antenna is also available, the company adds. IEI says the IBX-300 is equipped with 1GB of DDR2 memory (expandability not cited) and a 2.5-inch bay for a SATA hard disk drive. Accepting 12VDC power from an external AC adapter, the IBX-300 measures 6.29 x 4.86 x 2.01 inches (160 x 123.5 x 51.3mm). A data sheet for the IBX-300 may be found on the IEI website, here [PDF link]. Further information IEI did not list availability or operating system support for its three new devices, except for the IBX-300, which is said to run Windows XP or Vista. We'd guess the device can run Linux too, since Conexant and Maxim Integrated Products have shown off a reference design that includes the CX25853 and uses the open source operating system.
