 The CM-i586 module is a tiny PC-compatible single board computer, designed to serve as a building block in embedded application design. The CM-i586 module has all the components needed to run operating systems such as DOS, Linux, VxWorks or Windows CE. Ready BIOS and O/S packages are available from CompuLab.

The CM-i586 is both small and inexpensive. Its 'credit card' size allows integration into hand-held and mobile applications, providing a powerful computer core. Its low price makes it an ideal selection for cost-sensitive applications.

The feature set of the CM-i586 module combines a Pentium-class CPU, PC/AT system logic and essential computing peripherals. For embedded applications, the CM-i586 provides a 32-bit PCI bus, 100Mbit Ethernet, 16C550-compatible UART's, 32 I/O lines and many other essential functions.

Software support for the CM-i586 includes ready-to-run packages for:

* Linux
* Windows CE
* VxWorks
* DOS
