Advantech embedded platform series

A series of embedded boards based on the second-generation Intel Core i7 processor, featuring intelligent performance, power efficiency and integrated Intel HD graphics with DX10.1 support, has been released.

The platforms range from computer on modules, industrial motherboards, slot single boards to embedded systems that provide targeted performance for multitasking and high-quality digital media solutions.

They serve a wide range of applications that include: telecom, factory automation, military, medical and gaming.

Using this processor and the Intel Q67 chipset, the company has developed a series of embedded platforms in various form factors that include: industrial motherboards, PICMG 1.3 SHB and ATX-based server-grade motherboards.

The company’s MicroATX motherboard - AIMB-581, ATX motherboard - AIMB-781 and the PICMG 1.3 SBC - PCE-5126 feature intelligent performance, power efficiency and integrated HD graphics, DX10.1 and OpenGL 3.0.

ASMB-220 is a sub-entry UP industrial server board targeting industrial control, automation equipment and surveillance DVR applications.

The company is also releasing a COM-Express basic module - SOM-5890 - that is compliant with the newly released PICMG COM.0 R2.0 type 6 specification. The device supports memory with ECC/non-ECC versions up to SATA 6 Gbps, PCI Express x16 Gen2 and integrated HDMI/DVI/Displayport display interfaces.

The company will also be introducing an industrial motherboard called AIMB-272, capable of SATA RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 to ensure reliable storage and system protection for network-intensive applications, which brings power-saving features to the Mini-ITX motherboard class.
