Product overview
The AMD Geode™ LX UVC Reference Design Kit (RDK) brings together small form factor design, x86 application compatibility, high processor performance, and low power consumption to create a complete product development solution that lets you create Ultra Value Client (UVC) products quickly and efficiently.
The AMD Geode LX UVC Reference Design Kit, based on fifth-generation RDK technology, provides a complete system design package that gives designers flexibility, versatility, and enhanced capabilities when designing a UVC or Single Board Computer all in a small
package measuring approximately 5.5" x 5". The RDK is driven by an AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W processor* that delivers the flexibility of the x86 instruction set with the power to run current operating systems. The processor is complemented by the AMD Geode CS5536 companion chip, which provides general I/O support, including USB 2.0, audio, and ATA 100.
Overall, the AMD Geode LX UVC RDK gives you a viable “make vs. buy” scenario that gets you to market quickly with short product development cycle times and highly efficient designs.
Ideal for high-growth x86 markets
The AMD Geode LX UVC RDK is an optimal solution for all markets desiring a small form factor and a low-power x86 single board solution at a low entry price point. Potential markets include:
- Ultra Value Clients (UVCs)
- Single Board Computers (SBCs)
- Point-of-Sale (POS) Devices
- Corporate Thin Clients
- Network Appliances
- Kiosks
- Many others
High performance with low power
The AMD Geode LX UVC RDK delivers high performance via its onboard AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W processor. Because a heat sink is not required, designers can create small form factor designs with less stringent thermal management requirements. Cooler operation ultimately means lower power consumption.
x86 everywhere: Changing the way developers think about application design
AMD’s commitment to the x86 marketplace – with a range of high-performance products such as AMD Geode™ LX processors – gives OEMs an easy and effective way to differentiate their products and shorten time-to-market cycles. The AMD Geode™ LX processor family is the next step in helping AMD redefine the way x86 processors address the growing need for versatile power and performance for a variety of consumer devices. This processor is the latest example of AMD’s commitment to make x86-based technology available for a variety of applications – from high-end servers to low-power embedded applications.
