Liger


Overview

PC/104-Plus Single Board Computer based on Intel Kaby Lake Processor

The Liger is a high-performance single board computer (SBC) combining Intel’s 7th generation Core “Kaby Lake” processor with a PC/104-Plus expansion interface to provide a rugged, backwards compatible module ideal for OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required.

The Liger also contains a full complement of on-board I/O interfaces including USB 2.0, USB 3.0, mini PCIe expansion socket, TPM chip, multiple serial interfaces and 8-bits of digital I/O.

Liger is backed by a 5+ year off-the-shelf availability guarantee and an industry-leading a five-year warranty.
