PCA-6772 Manual (6.3MB)

The PCA-6772 is an all-in-one VIA Eden processor based single board computer (SBC) with a AGP CRT/LCD controller, three PCI 100Base-T Ethernet interfaces, and a PCI audio interface. The PCA-6772 achieves outstanding performance that surpasses any other SBC in its class. In addition, the onboard SSD interface supports type II Compact Flash, with memory capacity above 1 GB.

Onboard features include two serial RS232 ports, one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, Pin header for four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive controller, and a keyboard-PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/100 mode. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup drives, etc.

The PCA-6772 also features power management to minimize power consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports three types of power saving features: doze, standby, and suspend mode. In addition, the board's watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.

The PCA-6772 is a highly integrated SBC that combines, video, and network functions on a single computer board. It provides up to 1280 x 1024 resolution @ 24 bit color utilizing shared display memory up to 32 Meg. Major onboard devices adopt PCI technology to achieve outstanding computing performance making the PCA-6772 one of the world's best and most powerful all-in-one Single Board Computer.
