Processing power for AMD

OEMs can now add the parallel processing power of the AMD Radeon 6310 GPU to their applications. Common to all the performance levels of the new boards and modules based on the AMD Embedded G-Series platform are their discrete-level graphics embedded computer capabilities. Providing support for the latest DirectXR 11 API, they enhance all conventional graphics-intensive small-form-factor embedded computer applications.

Power management webminar

Vehicles usually take 2 types of battery voltage: 12V or 24V. However, Acrosser’s power manage subsystem has a wide range for power inputs that cater to both batteries. This could also protect the system from unstable power surges during the vehicle’s operation.

Large energy consumption may occur while operating the car computer. To prevent the power loss, Acrosser’s In-Vehicle computer offers low voltage protection to monitor the main battery. Once the voltage goes below its pre-set value, the computer will shut down and save the energy for vehicle use.

When the In-vehicle computer power on/off mode is controlled by the car ignition, it is impossible to turn off the ignition and turn it back on just to restart the computer. If the vehicle’s ignition switch did not power up the computer properly, Acrosser’s power management subsystem will automatically detect and monitor the system status to restart the system upon retry.

ACROSSER Technology has provided a complete product line for In-Vehicle computers. The product line also gained more attention after winning the 21th Taiwan Excellence Award with 2 outstanding In-Vehicle computers: AR-V6005FL and AR-V6100FL. Acrosser also released its latest in-vehicle computer, AIV-HM76V0FL during late 2012. The company pride itself in offering not just products, but solutions. Please contact ACROSSER Technology for further consultations, volume quotes, or any other questions.

Acrosser series mini-ITX mainboards for diverse application

With a total board height less than 20mm, the slim fit feature of AMB-D255T1 makes it a perfect applicationalmost everywhere. With single layer I/O ports and external +12V DC power input, AMB-D255T1 can easily be equipped even in limited spaces like digital signage, POS or thin client systems. Also, the supporting video source includes both VGA and HDMI outputs to cater to a variety of needs. Many digital signage partners have showed great interests toward AMB-D255T1 for their business sector. AMB-D255T1 has one DDR3 SO-DIMM which supports up to 4GB DDR3 memory, mSATA socket with USB signals and SIM slot, and a DC jack for easy power in. For customers that are taking their entire system to the next level, AMB-D255T1 provides one PCI slot and one Mini PCIe expansion slot with a SIM card socket for further improvement. The mini PCIe expansion allows mSATA to function together with the system or multi module choices for USB signals module installation.( mSATA storage, Wi-Fi module, or 3G/4G telecommunication)

The key features of the AMB-D255T1 include: ．Intel Atom D2550 1.86GHz ．1 x DDR3 SO-DIMM up to 4GB ．1 x VGA ．1 x HDMI ．1 x 24-bit LVDS ．6 x USB2.0 ．4 x COM ．1 x GbE (Realtek RTL8105E) ．1 x PS/2 KB/MS ．1 x PCI slot ．1 x MiniPCIe slot for mSATA and USB device ．1 x SATA with power connector ．8-bit GPIO

AMB-QM77T1 is dedicated to multiple applications, such as industrial automations, kiosks, digital signages, and ATM machines. Supporting 3rd generation Intel core i processor, AMB-QM77T1 features an integrated GPU to support the following graphic libraries: DirectX11, OpenGL4.0 and OpenCL1.1. As for numbers of output, a maximum of 3 independent displays are supplied, which is a perfect solution for gaming/multimedia business. In addition, 4 USB3.0 and 2 SATA III connectors result in high data transmission.

Creating the Raspberry Pi credit card sized

The initial goal in creating the Raspberry Pi credit card sized, Linux-based Single Board Computer (SBC) – targeted primarily at education – was to develop a response to the decline of students engaging with computer science and related engineering disciplines. Our desire was to reverse the trend of children becoming consumers rather than creators. The following case study follows the hardware development process from an early failure, initial prototypes, and through to the finished production design.

Over recent years there has been an increasing trend for children to be consumers of digital content rather than be future creators or engineers. This trend is driven by manufacturers looking to provide a seamless experience for target customers on a variety of electronic platforms, from gaming consoles to tablets and laptop computers.
As a result, access to raw I/O has become restricted. Similarly, any packaged provision of a programming environment is an anathema to the products’ commercial goals.
