IntroductionNeptune is a high performance, highly integrated board-level embedded-ready subsystem in the compact, EPIC SBC form-factor. Neptune's CPU core consists of an ETX CPU module mounted on its bottom side, an approach that improves thermal management and increases the space for I/O functions and connectors. This innovative design has enabled Neptune to integrate additional serial and Ethernet controllers, a complete set of peripheral interface header connectors, and PC/104-Plus expansion. Neptune's baseboard includes connectors and interfaces for keyboard, mouse, USB, serial, parallel, Ethernet, audio, and various mass storage devices. It supports the connection of a wide variety of displays, including CRTs, LVDS-interfaced flat panels, and televisions. Neptune also has a 40W DC/DC on-board power supply. Highly Integrated Embedded-Ready Subsystem (ERS)Neptune integrates an I/O application layer, COM layer, and thermal layer into a compact, EPIC form-factor board-level subsystem.
Data AcquisitionIn addition to its comprehensive embedded-PC system core, Neptune also integrates Diamond’s industry-leading data acquisition (DAQ) I/O subsystem, featuring 32 A/D and 4 D/A channels, 24 DIO lines, and 8 opto-isolated digital inputs and outputs.

Software SupportNeptune runs Linux and Windows XP and XP Embedded. Diamond’s industry-leading Universal Driver software is also included at no extra charge. It provides a C programming library for the integrated data acquisition circuit, and demo programs to assist in rapid application development. Development KitComplete Neptune Development Kits are available, with all the components you need to get started on your embedded design project. Each kit contains a Neptune ERS, cable kit, and software CD. Panel I/O BoardThis accessory plugs onto the front row of pin headers to provide cable-free access to the standard system I/O: Serial ports, USB, Ethernet, PS/2, VGA, Power input.
CablesA cable kit provides access to all I/O features on Neptune including the features on the panel I/O board.
