AMD And Logic Product Development Help Streamline Embedded Design With Low-Power, High-Performance Development Tool

Today AMD (NYSE: AMD) and Logic Product Development announced the availability of the AMD Geodeâ„¢ LX ETX Reference Design Kit (RDK). This low-power, high-performance system-on-module (SOM) is designed to help developers quickly and efficiently bring the next generation of small, embedded and industrial computing products to market. Featuring a design adaptable to many solutions, the new AMD Geode LX ETX RDK supports a wide range of embedded device types such as kiosks, information appliances, medical or industrial applications, point-of-sale terminals, corporate thin clients and embedded controllers.

“AMD is committed to producing low-cost, ready-to-go modules that provide the flexibility and performance that our customers need to develop outstanding embedded products,” said Erik Salo, director of marketing for AMD’s Embedded Computing Solutions Division. “With partners like Logic Product Development, AMD is helping customers quickly and efficiently bring the next generation of embedded computing appliance solutions to market.”

The AMD Geode LX ETX RDK leverages the ETX industry-standard SOM form factor and low-power system design to produce an excellent solution for applications that require small size without sacrificing features, performance or reliability. System designers benefit from flexibility and versatility to create a broad range of products based on a small industry-standard SOM measuring 96mm x 115mm. Additionally, an AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W* processor provides all the capabilities of the x86 instruction set with the power to run a broad range of operating systems and applications. Together with the AMD Geode LX processor, the ETX module contains the AMD Geode CS5536 companion device and SODIMM memory, eliminating the need for a designer to recreate these portions of the design.
