Wireless Router Application Platform

The '''Wireless Router Application Platform''' ('''WRAP''') is a format of single board computer defined by Swiss company PC Engines. This is specially designed for wireless router, firewall, load balancer, VPN or other network appliances.

==Basic specs== *32-bit x86 compatible CPU, low energy consumption (AMD Geode SC1100 at 266 MHz) *supports MMX instructions *64-bit SDRAM memory controller (max: 89 MHz) *PCI bus controller *IDE interfaces *ACPI 1.0-compatible power management *tinyBIOS : Made specially by PC Engines *64 or 128MB SDRAM *Compact flash memory (includes boot OS) *Monitoring: watchdog timer, LM77 thermal monitor *Power supply: 7V ~ 18V external DC power or Power over Ethernet *LAN: National semiconductor DP83816 *I/O: MiniPCI slots, console serial port

==Different boards== There are three different models of the WRAP:

*The WRAP 1-1 has two Ethernet ports, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 16x16cm board. *The WRAP 1-2 has three Ethernet ports and one mini-PCI slot, on a 16x16cm board. *The WRAP 2 has one Ethernet port, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 10x16cm board.

==Operating System== The WRAP is capable of running many different operating systems, including various Linux distributions, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, as well as proprietary OSes. The WRAP lacks a keyboard controller (for obvious reasons), so some OSes that rely on one for the boot process may have to be modified.

==End Of Life (EOL)== PC Engines announced the end of life for the WRAP platform in 2007. The board was replaced by the ALIX.
