Using/Tri-M VSX104

---

Single-board computer VSX104 of the firm Tri-M adaption for OpenSCADA Begin: 05 (Maj) 2008 Participants: Roman Savochenko Description: VSX104 is a single-board computer of the form-factor PC/104 of the firm Tri-M. The computer had attracted attention by the reason of low price and low power consumption (< 2W) and followed low heating. But by using the processor "Vortex86SX-300 МГц" here needs specific points to forming of the OS environment, but here used CPU instructions set of i486 and the mathematical coprocessor lack.

Hardware specification of the board:

Central processor:	DM&P SoC Vortex86SX-300 MHz
Operational memory:	128 МБ DDR2 RAM, soldered to the board
Permanent memory:	slot CompactFlash Type I, microSD and 2 ports EIDE (Ultra DMA 100)
Video subsystem:	no
Audio subsystem:	no
Interfaces/ports:	10/100Mbps Ethernet; 4 RS-232 serial ports; 2x USB 2.0; PS/2 keyboard and mouse, LPT, Redundancy, SPI
Power supply:	+5VDC ±10% @ 370mA
Operating conditions:	-40 ... 85°C
DAQ:	1 port 16-bit GPIO

For now there is not a solution based on the board but planed to assemble for it a environment, possible for an autonomous control resources system.

Force redirection of the BIOS interface to a COM-port possible to enable by grounding the 10 pin of the COM-port.
