One of the first things that case modders thought of when VIA brought out the Mini-ITX motherboard was - let's put a PC in a car. Many kits and chassis and designs have come along since. VIA's latest Pico-ITX mainboard is designed for in-car, or in-vehicle use, as the snazzy title to VIA's Press Release attests: VIA Announces Latest VIA Pico-ITX Board to Jump Start In-Vehicle Innovation, VIA VAB-600.
Interestingly, this Pico-ITX board does not feature a VIA CPU; it has an ARM Cortex instead.
"Based on the ultra compact Pico-ITX form factor, measuring 10 cm x 7.2 cm, the VIA VAB-600 combines an 800MHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a built-in 2D/3D graphics engine, supporting OpenGL® ES 2.0, to deliver a smooth user experience and superb multimedia performance. Customers can leverage our starter kits which include a VIA VAB-600 Pico-ITX board, VAB-600-A I/O card, VAB-600-C TTL Converter card, 7” touch screen TTL panel, cables and 18W AC adaptor.
Rear I/O includes one Mini HDMI port, two Mini-USB 2.0 ports, one 10/100 Ethernet port and 1 12~24V DC-in jack.
On-board features include 4GB eMMC Flash memory, 1GB DDR3 SDRAM, one DVO connector for TTL or LVDS display, two COM ports, SPI, one USB 2.0 connector, one Mini Card slot (supports USB 2.0 connectivity for optional WiFi module VNT9271B6050), support for one SIM card slot, touch screen connector, front pin headers for line-in/out and MIC-in, I2C and GPIO pin header, and one battery charger connector with smart battery function."
