Product Data Sheet
Anaconda
EBX Single Board Computer
Overview
The Anaconda is a moderate performance, low power embedded
computer designed on a standard EBX form factor. It is powered
by a DMP Vortex86DX2 processor that enables the entire board
to use less than 7W (typ.). Several I/O interfaces, multiple
expansions buses, and thermal management options provide
systems designers with flexibility and lower overall system cost.
Anaconda was designed with no moving parts, soldered-on
RAM, and ready to withstand high shock and vibration. Industrial
temperature versions are available. This Single Board Computer
is an ideal choice for applications that require high quality, low-
power, and long product life.
As with all VersaLogic products, the Anaconda is backed by a
five-year warranty, 5+ year off-the-shelf availability guarantee,
and expert US-based technical support. Product Life Extension
options support availability through the year 2025.
