The embedded computing board has a high-performance QorIQ processor and standard I/O interfaces on the front and rear of the board. It combines connectivity, flexible configurations, and multi-core computing.
The G51 has soldered components, high shock and vibration tolerance, and operates in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius for use in harsh environments typically found in railway, automation, avionics, power, and energy applications.

CompactPCI Serial peripheral cards can be added. Using CompactPCI Serial's mesh architecture, all of the board's eight Gigabit Ethernet channels -- three on the front and five on the back -- can be switched to the backplane without hardware modification.
Additional rear I/O includes four PCI Express ports and two SATA II ports, one of which can control an mSATA disk, as well as six USB 2.0 ports. Two additional USB 2.0 ports on the front can also lead to the backplane. Design options include M12 Ethernet front connectors as well as conformal coating for use in dusty and humid environments.
