Intel® Atom™ N2000/D2000 Series

Embedded Media and Graphics Features Matrix

This Embedded Media and Graphics Features Matrix describes several
driver and operating system support options for the Intel® Atom™
processor N2800/N2600/D2550 series with the Intel® NM10 Express
chipset—a platform that integrates the processor core, graphics, video
decode, memory, and display controllers in one package.
• The Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (Intel® EMGD)
version 1.15.1 is enhanced over previous embedded graphics drivers
from Intel, and provides more display output options (i.e., HDMI,
DisplayPort), and greater 3D graphics performance. This driver provides
support for Microsoft Windows* XP (SP3), Windows Embedded Stan-
dard 2009, and Windows Embedded Compact 7. For detailed product
information, please visit edc.intel.com/software/downloads/EMGD.
• The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 provides support
for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and
Windows Embedded Standard 7.
• The Intel® Linux PVR graphics driver version 1.0.x provides
support for the Linux* operating system.
