The Intel^® Atom™ processor family with Intel^® 82801HM I/O controller development kits include an on-board processor with integrated, enhanced graphics and memory controllers on 45 nm process technology, delivering significant power reduction, performance improvements and smaller footprint over platforms using the previous Intel^® Atom™ processor N270.

This family includes the dual-core Intel^® Atom™ processor D510 and single-core Intel^® Atom™ processors N450 and D410. Intel^® Embedded Flexible Design enables scalability for the first time on the Intel^® Atom processor with minor BOM stuffing options.

This saves time and money by allowing developers to design and/or manufacture a single board that can then be populated with one of three Intel^® Atom processors with minimal changes. The development kits are only offered with the Intel^® Atom processors D510 or N450, soldered down.

Featuring extended lifecycle support, these processors offer an excellent solution for embedded market segments such as print imaging, digital signage, retail and transaction solutions (point-of-sale, ATMs, kiosks, transaction terminals), thin clients, digital security, residential gateways, commercial and industrial control. The processors remain software compatible with previous 32-bit Intel^® architecture and complementary silicon.

Platforms include the Intel^® 82801HM I/O controller, providing an Intel High Definition Audio interface, along with rich I/O capabilities and flexibility via high-bandwidth interfaces such as PCI Express, PCI, Serial ATA, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity.

These platforms are part of Intel^®’s comprehensive validation process, which enables rapid deployment of next-generation platforms to help developers maximise competitive advantage and minimise development risks. This and other development kits from Intel^® provide a working system with a range of performance options that can be modified or used immediately for product development, and allow software vendors to test BIOS and operating system software.
