Datasheet

An ARM-based compact box computer powered by a Freescale ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX6 Dual Lite high-performance processor, the UBC-220, has been announced by Advantech. Designed with compact size, high capability and superior connectivity, UBC-220 is an indoor computing gateway suitable for smart buildings, parking lots and public spaces.

The box computer has 1GB of onboard memory and 4GB of eMMC flash memory storage. Featuring dual display support for 1080p HDMI and single-channel LVDS, it is a suitable solution for HMI and instant signage. With USB 2.0 and OTG expansion compatibility, as well as Gb Ethernet and dual mini-PCIe slots for optional WiFi and 3G modules, UBC-220 has the connectivity to bridge multiple devices in the same network and efficiently acquire raw data for next-gen cloud-based services.

The palm-sized box computer supports various mounting methods including VESA, DIN rail and flexible wall mounting. With the specially designed VESA bracket, it can be integrated with Advantech openframe monitors to provide a fanless standalone system with rich I/O capabilities that supports device managment for complex IoT infrastructures.

The box computer is equipped with embedded Linux as the default operating system. For experienced Yocto Linux developers, Advantech also provides a Yocto Linux board support package as an optional design-in service. Because this license-free package is aimed at application development in a Linux-based environment, both embedded Linux and Yocto Linux are supported.

Advantech also provides a complete software toolchain, Linux source code package and software support service for SW developers intending to develop a new-generation IoT gateway based on UBC-220. The box computer offers not only a stable H/W platform, but also the software package and service enable customers to more easily and quickly develop their own apps.

In addition to Linux support, the company offers an Android OS image and BSP source code for application development. Android apps can be integrated with the computer to provide additional competitive advantages for various solutions.

For users with existing system IDs, Advantech offers the cost-effective RSB-3410 SBC with identical I/O functions. Following the mini-ITX form factor standard, RSB-3410 can fit any type of chassis designed for 2.5” SBCs. Users can also easily integrate additional system peripherals using the RSB-3410.
