Avalue debuts SBC for IoT based on Intel Braswell processor
Taipei, Taiwan. Avalue Technology Inc., a global embedded solution provider and an associate member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, is introducing the EBM-BSW 5.25-inch single-board computer based on Intel Braswell processor technology, including Intel N3000 Pentium/Celeron processors based on Intel’s 14-nm architecture for entry systems. The processors provide 2x graphics performance improvement, up to 16% battery life improvement, better I/O support, and better performance at low thermals than previous Bay Trail processor generations.
EBM-BSW supports one 204-pin DDR3L 1600 MTs SODIMM system memory with up to 8 GB capacity. EBM-BSW offers a multiplicity of I/O, including 3 x RS-232, 2 x RS-232/422/485, 1 x SATA III, 2 x Mini PCIe (one supporting mSATA and one SIM card supporting a USB 2.0 interface), 4 x USB 3.0, 3 x USB 2.0, and a 16-bit GPIO. The EBM-BSW has dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (2 x RealTek RTL8119) and dual display ports with resolutions of HDMI mode at 1,920 x 1,080 at 30 Hz and of LVDS mode at 1,920 x 1,200 at 60 Hz. An audio interface is provided with 1 x Realtek ALC233 HD codec. EBM-BSW supports +12 to +26-V power range.
Avalue’s Braswell platform board brings enhanced improvement in graphics throughput, display resolutions, additional media codecs, and improved media acceleration. Also an optimized architecture reduces platform bill of materials (BOM) cost with less voltage rail requirements, less routing, and less power management complexities compared to the previous generation. The EBM-BSW is designed for intelligent systems and IoT applications, such as retail systems, thin clients, printers, embedded PCs, and medical systems.
