Computer-on-Module for graphics, multimedia, and industrial control introduced by andersDX
LONDON, 14 March 2013. The embedded computing company andersDX in London is introducing the CM-iGT Computer-on-Module for industrial control systems, digital signage, thin clients, information kiosks, point-of-sale units, and media servers.
The embedded computing board is powered by the AMD G-Series APU with a dual-core 64 bit x86 CPU that runs at speeds to 1.65 GHz, integrated with an AMD Radeon HD 6250 GPU. This is supplemented with 4 gigabytes DDR3 and 32 gigabytes of on-board solid-state disk.
The CM-iGT comes from andersDX's joint venture with CompuLab ltd. This low-cost G-series APU module mounts on an SB-iGT carrier board to become an SBC-iGT mini-ATX single board computer. The CM-iGT's interface capabilities are made available the SB-iGT or custom carrier board.
The module's AMD G-series processor features a scalable single/dual core CPU that runs at speeds to 1.65 GHz coupled with video processing and graphics acceleration units. Video processing is driven by a UVD 3 engine with native H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, and DivX 1080p Blu-Ray playback support.
The integrated Radeon HD 6250 GPU provides graphics acceleration, with support for DirectX 1.1, OpenGL 4.0 and Open CL standards. Two configurable display ports support simultaneous operation with DisplayPort or HDMI 1.4 interfaces with resolution as fine as 1920 by 1200 pixels at 60 Hz. LVDS and VGA channel options also are provided, as are stereo audio input and output.
Communications, I/O and bus expansion are available through two Gigabit Ethernet channels, six PCI Express, five SATA, nine USB, RS232 and CAN bus. As many as two I2C buses, and as many as 29 general-purpose I/O channels also are provided.
Software support includes Linux, Windows Embedded Compact 7, and Windows 7 operating systems. The module measures 75 by 65 by 8 millimeters, and operates from a 5-volt DC power supply. Commercial, extended and industrial versions are available, with operating temperature ranges -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.
