perfect solution for the OEM customer who requires a feature-rich system for
use in a variety of devices that implement graphically enhanced
applications. The ADS Graphics Client Plus is a very robust medium for Lineo
Embedix Plus for Smart Handheld Devices."

The Graphics Client Plus board is specially designed for graphics-intensive
applications with on-board I/O requirements. Four by six inches in size, the
Graphics Client Plus is a work-horse single board computer used in vehicle
computers, web tablets, automation systems and dozens of other applications.
The Graphics Client Plus includes a StrongARM SA1110 processor, up to 3
serial ports, on-board Ethernet, CAN and IrDA, PCMCIA, USB slave, "smart"
real-time I/O, and integrated flat panel and touch screen support.
