METX370MBO

METXMBO370-ETX-Format and Socket370

The young market of ETX Boards required a union of the flexbility of the CPU socket system and the compactness of an ETX format board. Nothing is fixed, no stock expenses necessary due to a soldered processor, but free scalability just like a classic PC platform. A socket 370 allows the free processor choice. The core function is served by the VIA chipset TwisterT with integrated graphic processor. A special highlight is the additional 24 bit parallel port for direct connection of an LCD. A free configurable watchdog timer takes care of the the system security.
