Early verification and validation using model-based design

One of the primary benefits of model-based design is the opportunity to do rigorous verification and validation in parallel with all other development steps, especially early in the development process.

Smarter products - software becomes the most active ingredient

As software becomes the most active ingredient in product innovation, traditional manufacturers are essentially becoming software companies. While this transformation is sparking unprecedented leaps in product value, it is also introducing new challenges and implications.

Building ultra-slim embedded systems with Em-ITX

Building a slimline or thinline embedded system can be a difficult task or a relatively simple one depending on the form factor chosen for the task. But how slim is slim enough?

Company Profile



Lanner: Atom-based 3.5” SBC with Intel 945GSE

Lanner releases the VES-300, a low power and economically priced 3.5” single board with 945GSE + ICH7M chipset and powered by an Intel ATOM N270 processor.  The VES-300 has SATA support, comes with a CompactFlash socket and holds up to 2GBs of RAM.  It comes with 6 USB and 4 COM ports for peripheral connectivity and 2 Ethernet ports for network communication. The motherboard is designed to be integrated in a fanless system, relying only on a passive CPU heatsink for cooling.  It can operate between 0 and 60˚C.

The SBC is designed for vibrant displays with integrated graphics via Intel 945GSE.  The VES-300 supports VGA and LVDS outputs.  On the VES-300 is a SDVO LVDS transmitter, which enables the LVDS output to operate at 24 bits, rather than 18.  This higher bandwidth enables the VES-300 to display more colors for larger, more vibrant displays.

There are 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 COM ports.  Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports are controlled via a Realtek RTL8111C.  There is a Mic-in and Line-out for audio applications. Tacked on this 3.5” board is one SO-DIMM slot capable of holding a maximum of 2GB of RAM, a CompactFlash Socket and a SATA port for a hard drive or solid state drive. The VES-300 supports Linux kernel 2.4.16 or above, Windows XP, Windows 2000, XP Embedded and CE Embedded 6.0 operating systems.
