together with the "V4 Ultimate Expansion Board"
assembled in a high quality black brushed metal ITX case with a glass top.
Key Advantages of the Expansion board upgrade:
Audio related:
- 16-bit high-quality analogue audio output, with separate ultralow-noise LDO power regulator. 112 dB SNR, and -93 dB THD. Playback both PAULA AND ARNE audio at high quality!
- Pass-through of analogue audio out to case 3.5 mm audio jack using the standard case HD AUDIO/AC97 connector.
- MIDI in/out (serial.device; using beat-buddy format connector due to space constraints).
Serial related:
- Buffered serial UART in/out for FTDI cable (serial.device), 3V3 only (FTDI cable provided).
- RS232 in/out (RX/TX lines) (serial.device).
Power control:
- Integration with standard ITX front-panel case buttons and LEDs.
- Full hardware cold reset from a single press of the case power/reset button.
- Full startup/shutdown from the ITX case power button (power removed from V4). Soft glowing LED when the V4 is powered down.
LED output selectable for single-led system (combined POWER and IDE access) or dual-led system (separate POWER and IDE access).
Separate 5V lines for powering the Apollo V4, and peripherals (e.g., USB).
Provision of SAFE +5V and +12V passthrough for powering external components like drives/CD-ROMs for the V4.
Smart power meter for voltage and current measurement of the 12V supply, and two 5V lines.
Keyboard/Mouse/Joystick:
- Passthrough for legacy DB9 mice and joysticks. USB keyboard port from the V4 is accessible directly from the rear panel of the Ultimate Expansion Board.
- USB mouse accessible via USB header on the board, for connection to case or expander USB ports. Both USB2 and USB3 headers are provided to ensure maximum case compatibility.
- Second USB gamepad port provided on the internal USB header, for both V4 and V4+ systems (i.e., it provides the second gamepad port for original V4 board owners).
Other:
- A 3-pin fan header for powering 12V fans.
- Internal mounting of USB blaster with mini-USB socket on the rear ITX panel, for easy FPGA programming. No more opening of the case to plug in the USB blaster!
- Internal programming header for on-board microprocessor (3V3 FTDI)
- Multi-colour LED back-lit V4 logo
- 1.8" 160x128 pixel colour LCD, with communication directly from the Apollo V4!
- On-board temperature sensor for system monitoring.
- A compact-flash extender to enable you to remove and change compact-flash cards without opening the case.
