Ruggedized Atom-based Vehicle Computer
Rave
Computer has announced a new ruggedized MIL-SPEC-810F in-vehicle
computer that looks good for use in autonomous vehicles and robots too. The
RCV
6100 is based on a 1.6 GHz Atom N270 with up to 2GB of RAM. The
fanless design can operate in temperatures ranging from -30 C to 60 C
(-22 F to 140 F) and run on 6 - 36 VDC. IO includes a PCI-104 expansion
connector, 2 mini PCI express slots, compact Flash and SIM slots, GB
Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n, GSM or WCDMA, Bluetooth, GPS, 3 USB ports, 2
RS-232, 1 RS-485, 1 LVDS, 1 VGA, 1 DVI-D, audio in and out, 4 GPIO ports
(4 in and 4 out). And, of course, you can run GNU/Linux on it. For even
more info, see the RCV 6100 spec
sheet (PDF format). How much will all this cost? Rave isn't saying
but our guess is you should apply the old rule of thumb: if you have to
ask, you can't afford it. Via LinuxDevices.com
