- User Guide, Rev. 0.0 3.2. Component Main Data The table below summarizes the features of the mITX-VR1000 motherboard. Table 1: Component Main Data System Processor AMD Embedded V-Series V1000 APU AMD Embedded R-Series R1000 APU Memory ...
The mITX-VR1000 is designed to support AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 and R1000 Processors. The BGA APU is remounted from factory. Kontron has defined the board versions as listed in the following table, so far all based on Embedded APUs. Other versions are expected at a later date.
Memory modules have in general a much lower longevity than embedded motherboards, and therefore EOL of modules can be expected several times during lifetime of the motherboard. As a minimum it is recommend using Kontron memory modules for prototype system(s) in order to prove stability of the system and as for reference.
– refer to the actual power supply specification. Please note, in order to keep the power consumption to a minimal level, boards do not implement a guaranteed minimum load. The mITX-VR1000 board must be powered through the DC jack using 12V DC power supply.
