Like all of VersaLogic’s rugged x86 compatible embedded computers, the Fox is designed, manufactured, and tested to be reliable in critical and demanding environments. These environments include extreme temperatures, high shock, excessive vibration, and high humidity. It has gone through: a strict component selection and evaluation process, worst-case stress testing, state-of-the-art compliance and validation testing of all high-speed signals, verification of the external interfaces, and extensive power and four-corner thermal testing. All VersaLogic products have been through the most stringent validation testing before they take on a customer’s application. The Fox is a low power embedded computer designed on a standard PC/104 form factor. It is powered by a DMP Vortex86DX2 processor that enables the entire board to use less than 5.5 Watts (typical). This 32-bit System-On-Chip processor is performance optimized for lower power consumption and compatibility with Windows, Linux, and other popular Real Time Operating Systems. Because the DMP Vortex86DX2 is an x86 based processor, the Fox is compatible with a broad range of x86 application development tools for reduced system cost and development time. Another key feature of the Fox is its integrated video controller. The VortexDX2 video controller provides standard on-board video interfaces without the additional expense and complexity associated with adding extra graphics hardware. A single-channel LVDS flat panel interface and an analog VGA video interface support Extended Desktop, Clone, and Twin display modes. An optional adapter converts LVDS output to VGA for dual VGA operation. The Fox supports up to 1 GB of soldered-on DDR2 memory. Having the memory soldered-down helps to lower the overall cost and increase the ruggedness of the system.
