LiPPERTs Thunderbird: Mini ITX Board with Pentium(R) M Processor

Thunderbird

  • Mini ITX - Pentium® M - 1.4 GHz ... 1.8 GHz

EOL notice

The Mini-ITX motherboard Thunderbird features an Intel® Pentium® M, running at up to 1.8 GHz, together with the 855GME chipset. Six USB and two Ethernet ports, one of them for Gigabit Ethernet, provide very good connectivity. A standard PCI slot as well as a mini-PCI slot allow for easy system expansion. The board can be cooled passively at clock speeds of up to 1.4 GHz. A single 5V supply option is available. Variants for other clock frequencies can be build for larger orders.

The Thunderbird comes together with a CD containing drivers and documentation.

Downloads

Thunderbird: 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.
