Chapter 1 Overview
The JetBox 8150/8152 is a VIA Eden V4 1GHz based computer with system memory
1GB DDRII RAM and built in media processor for multimedia performance
enhancement. Volume and performance of the JetBox is utilized as a perfect front
end device: compact design, DIN‐rail type mouting, and carrying all major interfaces,
such as USB2.0, serial, VGA, high resolution audio, and CANbus (Optional). In
addition, it is equipped with two RJ‐45 ports and supports web server services to
accommodate to the network communication environment today.
Windows Embedded ready
The advantage of adopting Korenix JetBox series is ready‐to‐use. Korenix is devoted
to improve the usability of embedded computer in industrial domain. Korenix
integrates device drivers, protocol stacks, system utilities, supporting services for
Windows XP embedded in a CompactFlash card or in a 2.5" HD installed in the JetBox
to let users experience JetBox in a simple way.
Linux Fedora with VPN ready
The standard Fedora 10 targets general users; therefore it includes office tools, a lot
of fonts and games which is not necessary for industrial applications. Korenix remove
these commercial tools and add popular SW modules such as openVPN and
openSWAN to compress the Fedora 10 size to 2.7G and stored in a CF card. A CF card
is much reliable than a hard drive when a device is installed in a hash or vibrational
environment. Hence, the JetBox with pre‐installed Linux CF card is a ready‐to‐use
solution. It is easier and more convenient for customers.
CANbus supported (Optional)
The JetBox 8152 supports the CANbus control in XPe and Linux as well. With CANbus,
the JetBox8152 is suitable for industrial applications with many nodes, the
transmission distance within 10 km and more security required.
The JetBox 8152 has two ports for I/O communications, One RS‐232/422/485 port and
one CANBUS port. The CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system
especially suited for networking "intelligent" I/O devices as well as sensors and
