Overview

ADI Engineering’s innovative Ocracoke Island SBC product line is the industry’s most flexible family of full-function embedded Single Board Computers (SBCs) for the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor (codenamed “Tolapai”). ADI’s Ocracoke Island SBC family consists of four models, including fanless and -40 to +85C temperature range versions, serving a wide range of applications of the EP80579.

ADI’s Ocracoke Island SBC offers a comprehensive IEEE 1588 hardware solution with accuracy as tight as 15ns. While many embedded SBCs with hardware IEEE 1588 support stop at packet timestamping, Intel’s EP80579 allows Ocracoke Island SBC to take its IEEE 1588 solution one crucial step further – a frequency-compensated hardware system clock for the highest possible accuracy and network-based synchronization of the entire Ocracoke Island-based system. With its best of breed IEEE 1588 implementation and a rich set of networking and communication features, Ocracoke Island SBC serves as an ideal platform in real-time distributed applications including wind turbine controllers, smart grid controllers, wireless infrastructure, ruggedized vehicle computers, train controllers, military and aerospace, and industrial control. Integrated networking and security hardware acceleration in the EP80579 and automatic Ethernet failover bypassing also make Ocracoke Island well suited for network security, unified threat management, VPN and wireless infrastructure applications.

As one of a select few Intel “Early Access” partners on EP80579, ADI has created Ocracoke Island SBC from the ground up to bring a number of significant new capabilities to the market:

• First EP80579 SBC available in a fanless model
• First EP80579 SBC available in a -40C to +85C extended temperature model
• First EP80579 SBC offering automatic Ethernet failover bypassing, critical for in-line networking and security applications
• Best of breed IEEE 1588 implementation provides up to 15ns network-based syncyronization, with an on-board hardware frequency compensated IEEE 1588 system clock
• Quick and inexpensive custom variants created by ADI for orders as small as 500 units
• Only EP80579 SBC backed by ADI’s groundbreaking Open IP of off-the-shelf board availability from ADI, customer IP licensing, design customization and “you build – we build” manufacturing
