LittleBoard 550 Reference Manual 3
• LittleBoard 800 – This EBX single board computer (SBC) is a highly integrated, high-
performance, rugged, high quality system based on Intel's 1.4GHz Low Voltage Pentium M 738,
1.0GHz Low Voltage Celeron M, or 600MHz Ultra Low Voltage Celeron M CPUs. In addition
to the standard LittleBoard features (EBX form factor, PC/104 & PC/104-Plus interfaces, +5 volt
power, watchdog timer, serial console, etc.), the LittleBoard 800 supports up to four EIDE Ultra
DMA 33/66/100 IDE drives including a CompactFlash socket, two floppy disk drives, one
ECP/EPP parallel port, four RS232/422/485 serial ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two Ethernet ports
(one Gigabit port), IrDA, AC'97 audio interface, and PS/2 keyboard & serial mouse. It also
supports Ampro BIOS extensions for OEM boot customization, power management features, up
to 1GB of DDR RAM in an DIMM slot, up to 64MB UMA of AGP 4X 128-bit 3D video
interface with built-in dual channel LVDS and CRT support.
