EBX board extends legacy applications
RoHS- and EBX-compliant 5.25in SBC offers new life for designs based on obsolete boards.
The Embedded Systems Conference saw Ampro Computers release a product it reckons can replace the tens of thousands of EBX and 5.25in-form-factor SBCs on the market that use 486, Pentium MMX or Geode GX1 processors, or use Celeron, C3 or Eden 100/133 FSB processors with the Twister-T chipset These SBCs are now end-of-life (EOL), meaning that system OEMs using these boards need to qualify a compatible replacement SBC that will be in production through 2010 or beyond
