This is the main compute platform on the boat. It is an ALIX 3d2 manufactured by PC Engines in Switzerland. The board runs off 12 volts, and doesn't generate a lot of heat, hence the lack of a heatsink on the main CPU. On the down-side, it sports a measly 512MB of RAM. The advantages of these boards are that they consume around 6 watts and have a built-in RS-232 port.
