Advantech, a global leader in embedded computing, announces the launch of RSB-6410, the world’s first RISC-based Mini-ITX motherboard which drives up to three 1080P displays powered by an NXP i.MX6D/Q Cortex-A9 1.0GHz high performance processor. To facilitate application development, RSB-6410 supports both Linux Yocto and Android OS images, a board support package (BSP), middleware and corresponding documents and design guides for reference. RSB-6410 industrial motherboard provides powerful multi-display capability,multiple I/O, and wireless connectivity with low power consumption for industrial applications such as machine control, self-service machine systems and digital signage.

Powerful Multi-display Capability and Multiple I/Os for Device Connection and Control

Powered by the NXP i.MX6D/Q Cortex-A9 1.0GHz processor, RSB-6410 drives up to three 1080P displays via LVDS, HDMI and VGA, and also supports dual independent displays and audio output. RSB-6410 builds on the standard 170 mm x 170 mm Mini-ITX form factor with abundant connectivity for multiple I/O including 6 x USB 2.0, 5 x COM, 20 x GPIOs,1 x Gigabit Ethernet port and 1 x PCIe slot for extending I/O modules. RSB-6410 supports wireless connectivity, including 1 x M.2 E-key slot for WiFi and BT module, and 1 x Mini-PCIe for 3G/4G modules. RSB-6410 is not only the best hardware solution for the industrial market, but is also flexible enough to be applied to various applications such as digital signage, Kiosk, ATM/VTM, industrial controllers and IoT device related applications.

Complete Software Support Services

RSB-6410 supports both Linux Yocto1.7 V3.14 and Android 4.2, and comes bundled with an evaluative Android image.It also provides complete Board Support Package (BSP) to help users develop their own applications. The BSP provides source code examples and tools for testing and evaluation. What’s more, it also provides sample code for setting up dual and triple independent displays and audio output, to help users quickly develop their own applications. Furthermore, the BSP includes peripheral drivers like WiFi, BT, 3G/4G modules and touch panels. With a dedicated Advantech service team and complete documentation and reference guides, RSB-6410 is easier for both new application development and integration with Advantech’s hardware platforms.
