    Tiny CPU Module                         

 

1.2    Product Description 

 

The VDX2-6518, a low-power x86 embedded controller, is designed to meet tiny module 

specification, and is integrated with the following features. 

   

 

800 MHz Vortex86DX2 SoC     

 

VGA, LVDS LCD support up to 

1280x1024 resolution 

 

1 GB DDR2 system memory 

 

10/100Mbps Ethernet 

 

2 USB 2.0 (host)   

 

Up to 4 serial ports 

 

Parallel port 

 

8-bit GPIO   

 

Onboard 4MB SPI Flash                                                     

 

2 watchdog timer 

 

PWM 8~16channels 

 

JTAG interface 

 

AMI BIOS 

 

Single v5V DC 

 

Support operating temperature range 

of -10°C to +60°C 

 

The embedded controller tiny module VDX2-6518 is designed with backward compatibility in 

mind, to provide migration path for projects facing end-of-life challenges with their existing x86 

based tiny module controller. This versatile controller is designed as a plug in replacement, with 

backward compatibility to support legacy software to extend running product life cycle without 

heavy and time consuming work.   

 

VDX2-6518 is suitable for broad range of data-acquisition, Industrial automation, Process control, 

Automotive controller, AVL, Intelligent Vehicle management device, Medical device, Human 

machine interface, Robotics, machinery control And more…application that required small 

footprint, low-power and low-cost hardware.
