In the Internet of Things trillion-scale market-scale catalysis, intelligence, mobility, low power consumption has long been the mainstream trend of the semiconductor market, embedded computer modular area is nothing more than. SMARC (Smart Mobility AR Architecture) standard, which is led by SGET (Standardization Group for Embedded Technology), is the standard for ultra-small size, low power, low cost and high performance multi-functional computer modules. Typical SMARC® standard computer modules with power dissipation below 6W meet the stringent requirements for increased power consumption and small size for a growing number of smart devices.

As an open, global standard, SMARC can take full advantage of the advantages of x86 architecture and ARM architecture, is ideal for low-power, low cost and high performance of the next generation of embedded applications. At the same time, SMARC's low-power design allows passive cooling, which can build a more suitable for the general direction of the development of things smaller, quieter, cleaner system. As the industry's most powerful voice producer, Embest has introduced two SMARC®-based products - SOM-SM8800 and SOM-SM9300 - for its long-term commitment to embedded computing.

As the SMARC® standard core board for Graperain system on module manufacturers for medical instrumentation, industrial control, communications and other applications, the SOM-SM8800 uses the ARM CortexTM-A9 architecture, SDRAM particles, providing up to 1GB of external RAM access space. In a more compact 82mm × 50mm ultra-small size, SOM-SM8800 onboard a 4MB QSPI Flash, and default as the operating system boot disk, and equipped with a 4GB eMMC Flash, a 32KB EEPROM, For storing important information such as board configuration and the like. The SOM-SM8800 is equipped with a variety of I / O interfaces, such as a 10/100/1000 Mbps 3-speed Ethernet interface, JTAG interface, and 3-channel LED control, although the product architecture is streamlined. At the same time, SOM-SM8800 Linux SOM follows the SMARC standard, through the way of cheat, leads to CPU resources, including: 1 * 12Bit Camera, 1 * 10/100 / 1000M Ethernet, 2 * 4Bit SDIO, 2 * SPI, 2 * MCASP (IIS), 4 * IIC, 1 * USB OTG, 1 * USB Host, 1 * 24Bit LCD, 4 * UART, 2 * CAN, 8 * ADC and 17 * GPIO.

In addition, SOM-SM8800 core board not only in the 0 ~ 70 ℃ industrial temperature range of work, but also provides for -40 ℃ to 85 ℃ military wide temperature environment applications. Thanks to its 16-year embedded R & D accumulation, the SOM-SM8800 has a wide range of applications, including ultra-small size, low power consumption, low cost, high performance, rich external interface and strong operating temperature. To meet the different needs of different fields, including gaming peripherals, home and industrial automation, consumer medical devices, printers, smart toll systems, smart vending machines, weighing systems, educational terminals, advanced toys and so on.

Now, with the Internet of Things under the guidance of the wisdom of the industry's progress and development of embedded products, demand for more and more diverse, with ARM computer core board with customized carrier board design is increasingly accepted by everyone, especially Goldfinger interface with its standardization, ease of use has become the mainstream of the industry, and its reliability has withstood the test of the market, has been widely used in industrial control, logistics management, medical, electrical and other high reliability requirements field.

The same standard trend also introduced based on Intel's NXP i.MX6 series CPU SMARC® standard module SOM-SM9300. The SOM-9300 with SMARC® standard 314pin gold finger communication interface maximizes the resources of the i.MX6 SoC module with 2 USB2.0 high-speed interfaces, 2 SDIO, 10-bit Parallel interface, MIPI 2Lanes Camera interface, 1-way gigabit network interface, 1 way I2S interface, 1 way SATA interface, 2 way SPI interface, 1 way PCIe interface, 4 way UART interface, 2 way CAN port, HDMI interface LVDS interface, 24Bits LCD Parallel interface, 4-channel I2C interface, 1-way SPDIF interface and provides 12 GPIO interface for customers to use.
