The
ATX-i686 is a
small single board computer with industry standard Mini-ATX form
factor. It is implemented by a combination of the
CM-i686 module and
the ATX baseboard.
Based on AMD's Geode architecture, the
ATX-i686 board delivers a price / feature ratio better than any
traditional X86-based alternative. The ATX-i686 is especially
attractive for applications requiring a combination of low price and
low power consumption with features such as USB, Ethernet and LCD
Panel interfaces.
The ATX-i686 has industry standard Mini-ATX form factor, providing an
attractive alternative to many other ATX cards available in the
market. Within CompuLab's product line, the ATX baseboard is also
compatible with the CM-X255 and CM-i886 boards, enabling the
flexibility required in a dynamic market where application
requirements can change rapidly.

ATX-i686
Features
The "ATX Option" column specifies the P/N code
of ATX baseboard required to have the particular feature. The "CM
Option" column specifies the P/N code of CM-i686 required to have the
particular feature. ATX-i686 content is the combination of features
provided by the attached CM-i686 and features implemented on the ATX
baseboard itself. To have a particular feature, both CM and ATX options of
that feature must be implemented.
"+" means that the feature is always available,
regardless of P/N code.
