VIA Announces Ultra Compact VIA ARMOS-800, First ARM Based Industrial System

Featuring an 800MHz Freescale ARM Cortex-A8 SoC with two integrated GPUs for dual display support, the VIA ARMOS-800 is optimized for both performance and power to meet the high-end demands of advanced industrial and in-vehicle applications. Boasting a ruggedized, fanless system design with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 80°C , the VIA ARMOS-800 delivers a typical power consumption of a mere 3.14W TDP.

The VIA ARMOS-800 is the first ARM-based system in our ruggedized AMOS systems series, said Epan Wu, Head of the VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. The high performance and ultra-low power consumption provides an exciting combination for a wide range of industrial embedded applications where robustness is critical.”

The VIA AMOS-800 is specifically designed to support the VIA VAB-800 Pico-ITX board, which features an 800MHz Freescale ARM Cortex-A8 SoC, creating a completely fanless system within a robust chassis measuring 15cm x 4.6cm x 10.8cm (WxDxH). The VIA ARMOS-800 has a certified operating temperature range from -40°C to 80°C and offers ultra-low power consumption of only 3.14W TDP under typical operating conditions.

On-board storage includes 4GB of eMMC Flash and can be expanded with the MicroSD Card slot. Front I/O includes one COM, one DIO and one CAN port, as well as Line-in/out and Mic-in, while rear I/O includes, one VGA and one HDMI port, one 10/100 LAN port, and three USB 2.0 ports. An on-board USB pin-header can be utilized to support the optional VNT9271 Wi-Fi USB module.
