EPIA
The EPIA platform from VIA Technologies is a collective term for a range of highly integrated mainboards in mini , nano or pico ITX design that are equipped with one or two VIA C3 , VIA C7 or EDEN ESP CPUs.
These mainboards are mainly used in the embedded area, but also include set-top boxes , routers , thin clients and low-cost PCs.
All EPIA mainboards have:
- integrated graphics ( IGP ) with VGA connection and / or DVI connection .
- at least one LAN connection
- AC97 sound with three connections (line-out, line-in and mic-in) mostly as jack sockets
- 2 × ATA / ATAPI (IDE slots) for UltraDMA 133/100
