SMARC COM SBC suits HMI, medical and industrial applications

The ROM-5420 supports triple independent displays (Parallel, HDMI and LVDS) as well as lithium-ion batteries with 3-5.25V power input design and suspend mode under 0.3W. The SBC features a variety of I/O interfaces and expansion ports including one SATA-II, one USB 2.0 on-the-go, one PCIe, one GBe LAN, 12 GPIO, two CAN bus, five I²C, four UART and one MIPI camera input. This compact computer module featuers dimensions of just 82x50mm with an overall assembly height of under 8mm. The low-power fanless system also features built-in DDR3 1GB memory and 4GB flash capability.

The ROM-5420 is supplied with Security API, a software API that protects the user's image from unauthorized copying. API and middleware development can be tailored by the customer to their application and applied to other Advantech RISC products. Additionally, they will not need to update the API if their hardware platform is upgraded in the future.

Advantech also offers their renowned RISC Design-in Support Services, a high value development process for modular designs which includes planning, design, integration, and validation phases. Streamlining the whole design procedure, this helps customers rapidly develop their own innovations. Advantech provides three-levels of software service, as well as standard OS support (such as Embedded Linux v3.0.35). Helping customers to reduce development time, design costs, and time-to-market, the three-levels are Evaluative Image, Board Support Package, and Custom Design Services.

Additionally, Advantech offers the ROM-DB5900 evaluation carrier board which comes with schematics and layout checklists to help customers develop their own carrier board much more easily than before. Linux BSP, test utilities, design utilities, and reference codes are ready for application development and device integration.

The ROM-5420 and ROM-DB5900 are available now.
