Highlights
PC/104-Plus Form Factor
Small footprint. Multi-vendor support.
Overview
The Cougar is a feature-rich, mid-performance single board computer that offers very low
power consumption without sacrificing performance. The highly efficient AMD Geode LX
800 processor provides fanless extended temperature operation, while soldered-on memory
ensures high reliability. Equipped with dual 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, and RS-232/422/485
COM ports, the Cougar is ideal for defense, aerospace, homeland security, medical, and other
embedded computing applications.
Like all VersaLogic products, this small and efficient SBC is designed to support OEM
applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application
design-in to 5+ years production life, its quality and longevity provide a cost-effective, long-term
solution. Customization is available on as few as 100 pieces. The Cougar is manufactured and
tested to the highest quality standards, is compliant with RoHS regulations, and is backed by
a two-year limited warranty.

Details
The Cougar features the AMD Geode LX 800 processor, which offers 500 MHz performance
while drawing less than 5 watts of power. This highly-integrated processor, along with its
companion chip, provide the majority of the Cougar’s on-board I/O, including USB 2.0 support,
high-performance video, and RS-232/422/485 COM ports. The high-resolution video output
can be configured for either standard desktop-type displays or LVDS flat panels.
The Cougar features a Phoenix Technologies Embedded BIOS with OEM enhancements.
This field-reprogrammable BIOS supports custom defaults and the addition of firmware and
firmbase applications for security processes, remote booting, and other pre-OS software
functions. The Cougar is compatible with a variety of popular operating systems, including
Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX.
Integrated I/O
Three COM ports (two RS-232, one RS-422/485) and one
IDE interface.
CompactFlash Socket
Removable non-volatile media has no moving parts and
is bootable.
Fanless Operation
Embedded BIOS
No moving parts required for CPU cooling.
OEM embedded features and firmware support. Field-upgradeable,
customization available.
MIL-STD-202G
Qualified for high shock / vibration environments.
