Cool XpressRunner-GS45

  • PCI/104-Express Single Board Computer
    Core 2 Duo Processor

The Cool XpressRunner-GS45 is the fastest PCI/104-Express processor module available. It brings the power of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the mobile GS45 chipset on a small 3.55” by 4.55” PCI/104-Express board. Advanced semiconductor technology using tiny 45 nanometer structures made it possible to construct processors with minimum power consumption. The CPU speed of 2.26 GHz for the CPU and 1066 MHz for the front side bus deliver unprecedenced performance. The board can be equipped with up to one Gigabyte soldered DDR3-1066 RAM.
The chipset features an integrated GMA4500 graphics processor. Displays are connected using either VGA or dual channel LVDS interfaces. High definition audio with analog as well as digital inputs and outputs is available, too.
There is a Gigabit LAN port, 8 USB 2.0 host port and two serial interfaces capable of RS232 and RS485. Two SATA ports round the board’s hardware features off.
The Cool XpressRunner-GS45 uses the LiPPERT Enhanced Management Technology, (LEMT) based on an integrated system manangement controller. It handles the boards houskeeping tasks like power sequencing and watchdog, and provides useful utilitiy functions for the application. Among them is a secure, write and clear protected Flash area that can be used for security keys.
All models of the Cool XpressRunner-GS45 are designed for an ambient temperature range of -20°C...+60°C. The 1.2 GHz model is optionally available for operation in the full extended temperature range of -40°C...+85°C.
The Cool XpressRunner is intended for applications requiring high performance mobile computing. The optionally available extended temperature range makes it the ideal candidate for outdoor usage.

Downloads

Cool XpressRunner-Gs45: Downloads


We support our customers with BIOS binaries and all kinds of drivers for our embedded X86 boards. Usually, there's at least support for Windows and Linux. Some selected boards are also supported with drivers for real time operating systems.Check the table state below for the list of drivers and the current BIOS version. Please contact our support if the required driver is not listed on this web site.

BIOS loader
To burn the BIOS binary into your module's Flash PROM, there is a universal loader program available that works with most of our single bard computers. This tool requires DOS to run.

BIOS Modifications
You need a special function integrated in your embedded PC's BIOS? We can customize the standard BIOS to match exactly your requirements! Please check with us about the possibilities and a quote.
