ARM-based industrial computer

14 May 2014 Computer/Embedded Technology

The AMOS-820 from VIA Technologies is a compact, fanless industrial system designed around the tiny VAB-820 Pico-ITX board. The computer provides embedded customers with a ruggedised system that delivers advanced processing power in a power efficient design for a diversified range of industrial automation, transportation, HMI and energy management applications.

The AMOS-820 combines a 1,0 GHz Freescale i.MX 6Quad ARM Cortex-A9 SoC with three independent, integrated GPUs, creating a completely fanless system for even the most computing-intensive of environments within a robust chassis measuring 15 x 4,6 x 10,8 cm (W x D x H).

With a wide operating temperature range from -20°C up to 65°C, the system delivers typical power consumption of 7 W TDP and offers support for Embedded Linux, Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC 7) and Android operating systems. Featuring capture-in support and optional 3G connectivity, it is also ideal for surveillance and features Power over Ethernet support for seamless integration.

Onboard storage includes 4 GB of eMMC Flash and can be expanded through one MicroSD card slot. Front I/O includes two COM ports, one DIO port, two CAN ports, one USB 2.0 port and one Micro USB 2.0 OTG port as well as Line-in/out and Mic-in, while rear I/O includes one HDMI port, one composite RCA jack, one GigaLAN port, one MicroSD slot and two USB 2.0 ports.

Optional 3G/WiFi is available which can be supported through onboard USB pin-headers or a Mini PCIe slot.
