With its recently proclaimed new series of Nano 3000 processors, developed particularly to meet the performance essentials of ultra-portable computer enthusiasts, VIA has come up with something more effectual. VIA Technologies has lately unveiled its AMOS-5000 chassis kit to meet the physical specifications of the Em-ITX form factor boards, including the company’s own EITX-3000 board.
Ensuring to offer speedy and easy congregation of a variety of fanless and robust IPC designs, the AMOS-5000 features the VIA-developed Em-ITX, offering developers rich and versatile I/O configurations through expansive dual I/O coastlines along with miscellaneous expansion modules for wide variety of application specific I/O configurations. In fact, it also ascertains a flexible EMIO bus enduring a wide range of modern and legacy bus technologies. Systems build employing the VIA AMOS-5000 are shock resistant and can withstand a wide range of temperatures at the same time.
“With the VIA AMOS-5000 we are offering developers the means to create a wealth of unique fanless designs using less time and fewer resources,†remarked Daniel Wu, Vice President, VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. “This is in keeping with our broader strategy to offer a complete and comprehensive product ecosystem that empowers our customers with a clear market advantage.â€
Developers will discover that utilizing AMOS-5000 chassis kit helps in assemble robust systems easily, enabling them to withstand a wide temperature range of -20 degree C to 55 degree C, capable of sustaining a g-force of up to 50. The AMOS-5000 chassis can be conveniently clustered and maintained using merely five mechanical separate parts to form a robust, fanless system with extensive I/O options.
The influential AMOS-500 conjugates with the unique integrated heatsink design found on Em-ITX boards. The discrete aluminum heatsink has direct contact with the processor and chipset on reverse side of the board, forming a solid, robust base for chassis assembly. Users can even add an optional storage compartment.
The VIA AMOS-5000 is now available and aims at multiple embedded segments including medical, healthcare, industrial and building automation, digital signage, kiosk, POI/POS, gaming and surveillance applications.
The pricing and availability details of the device are quite hazy for now.
