DescriptionOverview The Cougar is a feature-rich, mid-performance single board computer that offers very low power consumption without sacrificing performance. The highly efficient AMD Geode LX 800 processor provides fanless extended temperature operation, while soldered-on memory ensures high reliability. Equipped with dual 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, and RS-232/422/485 COM ports, the Cougar is ideal for defense, aerospace, homeland security, medical, and other embedded computing applications. Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+ years production life, its quality and longevity provide a cost-effective, long-term solution. Customization is available on as few as 100 pieces. The Cougar is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations, and is backed by a two-year limited warranty. Details The Cougar features the AMD Geode LX 800 processor, which offers 500 MHz performance while drawing less than 5 watts of power. This highly-integrated processor, along with its companion chip, provide the majority of the Cougar’s on-board I/O, including USB 2.0 support, high-performance video, and RS-232/422/485 COM ports. The high-resolution video output can be configured for either standard desktop-type displays or LVDS flat panels. The Cougar features a Phoenix Technologies Embedded BIOS with OEM enhancements. This field-reprogrammable BIOS supports custom defaults and the addition of firmware and firmbase applications for security processes, remote booting, and other pre-OS software functions. The Cougar is compatible with a variety of popular operating systems, including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX. VersaLogic products are designed for use by OEMs working in a variety of market applications: Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Industrial, Security, Medical, Military, Robotics, and Transportation. Anywhere that the need for superb quality and high-performance embedded computing exists, applications include: automation, avionics, gateway, in-vehicle, monitoring, simulation, and vision. |
