The ETX® Eval is an ATX motherboard, which fulfills all user requirements. Additionally to the typical interfaces like IDE, FDD, parallel and two serial ports, the board offers a RJ45 Ethernet and two additional USB ports. Common used receptacles make it easy to connect speakers or microphones directly. The motherboard is expandable via four PCI and three ISA slots and is equipped with both ATX and BabyAT power connectors. This allows the usage of nearly every available power supply. As a special feature, the board offers a standardized FFC connector for LVDS panels. A custom cable adaptation for LVDS displays is not neccessary, simple “plug and work“.

The absolute highlight is the scaleable processor performance. Due to four defined high count plugs it is possible to work with different processor modules. From AMD Geode™ up to Intel® Core™2 Duo and all future CPU technology can be inserted. The expensive replacement of the whole motherboard is obsolete and makes upgrading pretty easy.

This modularity recommends the ETX® Eval as the ideal carrier board to evaluate the ETX® concept. Even before the completion of the target system is done, the software and application development can be started in advance.
