ADLINK Technology SP2-IMX8 open frame panel PC

ADLINK Technology has launched the SP2-IMX8 7″/10″ open frame panel PC. Based on ARM architecture, the system can also be configured as a media gateway or portable panel PC.

The SP2-IMX8 was designed to meet the demand for fast-track development, verification and validation. For ease of integration, it supports Windows, Android and Linux OS so that it is suitable for a wide range of edge devices and use cases.

Powered by an NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, the SP2-IMX8 has a 32 GB eMMC and external Micro SD slot for storage expansion with 12 VDC or 12–24 VDC input; and a physical recovery, reset with an optional power button. Additionally, it supports buzzer, optional speaker, mic-in, line-out and multiple I/O connectors, such as USB, COM, CANbus and 1 GbE LAN TSN. The SP2-IMX8 has also passed shock and vibration tests, withstands a broad range of operating temperatures and provides ESD 8K/15K protection for ongoing system operation.

Typical applications include system control panels, access control and kiosks in markets such as automation, manufacturing, and test and measurement.

Edge I/O enables the extra functions and interfaces, for instance, USB 3.2, I2C, SPI, 4GPI and 4GPO and others on request, to be customised to suit various vertical applications. Reduced power requirements and simplified circuitry support the design of smaller, more compact devices, making the SP2-IMX8 suitable for embedded use and industrial environments with limited space.
