Avalue ECM-TGUC embedded single-board computer

Avalue Technology has launched its embedded single-board computer, the ECM-TGUC, with an 11th Generation Intel Core SoC to achieve optimal performance with low power consumption. Designed for smart IoT, the product is suitable for a wide range of applications. Not only can it help system developers in the fields of industrial automation, transportation, retail and health care, the SBC also uses an AI accelerator to process complex computation and high-workload applications.

The 3.5″ motherboard is thin and lightweight, and measures only 14.6 x 10.1 cm. It supports low-latency, time-critical applications and executes multiple workloads on a single platform. Balancing performance and response, its low power consumption and high-speed processing allow the ports of multiple devices to communicate synchronously, enabling the product to meet the needs of the IoT market, AI, industrial automation and deep learning.

The embedded SBC has a set of built-in SO-DIMM memory slots to support up to 32 GB non-ECC DDR4 memory, is equipped with three sets of M.2 expansion slots, supports wireless modules and 4G/LTE/5G communication modules, and uses an NvME card to achieve high-speed, huge-volume transmission. Fully integrating into the field of IoT, it is equipped with a diverse array of I/O interfaces, up to eight sets of USB ports (3 x USB 3.2 Gen.2 and 5 x USB 2.0), six sets of COM ports (1 x RS-232/422/485 and 5 x RS232) and a SATA III connector.

The device has both 2.5GbE and 1GbE Ethernet ports to allow fast synchronisation of edge devices with the use of high-bandwidth and stable network connection, achieving seamless coordination in industrial automation. Supporting 1 x 2CH LVDS and 2 x DP++ displays, it enables virtually no delay or dropped frames, making it suitable for graphics-intensive applications, multimedia centres, industrial control systems and embedded applications.

The processor and chipset are mounted on the underside of the motherboard, helping to lower temperature and freeing up more space on the motherboard for flexible integration. The product supports Windows 10 and Linux operating systems, and operates within a standard temperature range of 0–60°C. Avalue also offers an optional CPU thermal solution.
