For Flashlite 386Ex single board computer users requiring local area network connectivity, the Ethernet/Serial/Parallel peripheral board can add Ethernet as well as additional serial ports.

This peripheral board combines a highly integrated, full function, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet controller with 16C550 high speed UARTs (with FIFO) and bi-directional parallel port. The Ethernet port is a 16 bit design that supports a direct connection to 10BASE-T networks, jumperless configuration and internal receive and transmit frame buffers to reduce CPU overhead and maximize throughput. The 2 PC compatible serial ports and the parallel port provide additional I/O necessary for many demanding applications. These features quickly make the Flashlite 386Ex single board controller a versatile platform for networking, embedded control, web server and serial protocol conversion applications.

Ethernet/Serial/Parallel (99-0019) upgrade kit for Flashlite 386Ex SBC packages the Ethernet/Serial/Parallel peripheral board, interface cables, standoff kit, users manual and schematic to easily convert the unit into the FlashTCP single-board computer system.

For users needing to add serial or parallel ports without Ethernet to a Flashlite 386Ex embedded SBC, see our Serial/Parallel peripheral board page.
