AB5810 and all Mini-ITX boards can be applied
in many fields such as industrial control, traffic
control, outdoor signage, vehicle and military
embedded applications which need to operate
in harsh conditions. The high performance
computing platform supports image recogni-
tion, -40 to 85°C wide-temperature support,
and the rugged system provides high reliability
in harsh environments. The SOM-5894 offers
high performance and outstanding graphics,
supports multiple combinations of three inde-
pendent displays, as well as abundant high
speed I/O and flexible expansion interfaces up
to PCIe x16 Gen 3. The board provides a solu-
tion for high-end industrial applications such
as medical, automation, gaming, telecom, and
digital signage. The design of the low power
PCH and low voltage DDR3 improves power
consumption. The basic board includes both
quad core and dual core processors each with
different TDP. Customers can also enable lower
TDP options through the new configurable
TDP down function to meet different needs.
Supporting wide voltage operation (8.5 to 20V),
and offering high performance makes the board
entirely suitable for high-end applications.
Along with the advancement of large high
definition panels, multi-display features have
become more necessary. New generation Intel
HD Graphics with DX11.1, OpenCL 1.2 and
OpenGL 4.0 support offers enhanced media
effects and significantly improved 3D perform-
ance. The board supports three independent
symmetrical displays, enabling better display
configurations with no bandwidth limitations.
Different display combinations include: 3 dis-
play ports, or display port+HDMI+HDMI, etc;
either in clone mode or extended mode - bene-
fiting the medical, gaming and digital signage
industries. Built-in high speed I/O ports include
USB 3.0 and SATAIII for huge data transmission.
In addition, there is support for expanding the
payload with FPGA or ASIC. The PCIe x16
lane up to Gen3 (8 GT/s bit rate) can be used
in combinations of x8 or x4, and the 6 CIe x1
lanes can be used in configurations of x4 or x2.
Because of its flexibility, customers have the
advantage of I/O expansion at the time of sys-
tem design. iManager, included with the board,
provides a valuable suite of programmable
APIs such as multi-level watchdog, hardware
monitor, smart fan, brightness control and
more, all with user-friendly interfaces. It also
comes with SUSIAccess bundled for system in-
tegrators to remotely centralize monitoring
and management of all their embedded devices,
and even recovers them if they fail.
Advantech Embedded Core Services offers de-
sign-in oriented services. These streamlined
solutions broadly integrate embedded boards,
peripheral modules and software. This dedi-
cated focus on embedded design-in services
fulfills electronic engineering demands at their
design-in phase, and brings benefits that shorten
the design and integration cycles, minimizing
uncertainty and risk.
DFI: complete line of 7” panel PCs based
on ARM and x86 architectures
DFI’s seven IP65-rated Panel PCs based on
the low-power and cost-efficient ARM Cor-
tex-A and Intel Atom processors are designed
for today’s growing performance/wattage re-
quirements of intelligent systems. DFI’s new
Panel PCs provide a variety of storage op-
tions such as eMMC onboard, an SD/MMC
slot for extending extra storage and 3G mod-
ules. They also come with LAN, COM, USB
ports for various demands and up to 12-bit
GPIO for device control. With the flexible
I/Os providing increased computing and
graphics performance, the new Panel PCs
allow your system to process more data load
and provide faster loading of frequently
used applications. The Mini PCIe expansion
slot also offers additional capabilities for
the various demands.
