Advantech, a global embedded computing leader providing embedded platforms, introduces the AIMB-205 Mini-ITX motherboard based on the latest Intel® H110 chipset and the latest 6th & 7th generation Intel® Core™ I, Pentium, and Celeron processors, supporting non-ECC DDR4 2400 MHz memory with capacities up to 32GB. AIMB-205 is designed with multiple high-speed I/O for high connectivity, USB stability enhancement, and comes bundled with Advantech’s value added software suite WISE-PaaS/RMM for remote device management, making it ideal for self-service applications such as ATMs, kiosks, vending machines, and much more.

Abundant High-Speed I/O for Multi-connectivity

AIMB-205 builds on the standard 170 mm x 170 mm Mini-ITX form factor with high connectivity and multiple high-speed I/O including: 4 x USB 3.0, 10 x USB 2.0, 2 x SATAIII, and 1 x PCIe x16. For expansion, AIMB-205 supports 1 x full-size MiniPCIe (colay mSATA) and 1 x M.2 (B key, type: 2242) on the top side of the board for easy WiFi, 3G/LTE, and storage module installation. AIMB-205 comes with dual PCI Express based Gigabit Ethernet ports (Realtek RTL8111G), delivering up to 1000 Mbit/s of bandwidth for network-intensive applications. AIMB-205 also has eight serial ports onboard, including one RS-232 5V/12V (by jumper selection), and one RS-232/422/485 (via BIOS selection); offering users the convenience of connecting to devices without additional external power supply. AIMB-205 is designed with an onboard amplifier (6W stereo) which reduces total cost of ownership. Above all, AIMB-205’s I/O connectivity especially with 14 x USB and 8 x serial ports provides more than ample connection possibilities for self-service applications such as kiosks, and for ATM system integrators to link and manage multiple peripherals.

Enhanced USB Design for Stability & High Resolution Video Output

AIMB-205 incorporates a USB power on/off control via a GPIO and USB voltage regulator design that ensures systems operate more stably. This feature makes AIMB-205 a perfect solution for ATM, kiosks, and vending machines which often connect to many USB devices at the same time. Powered by the latest 7th & 6th generation Intel® CoreTM processor, AIMB-205 delivers an exceptional 4K graphic performance through Intel® HD Graphics. It supports two independent displays, either in clone mode or extended mode using VGA, DVI-D, LVDS (or eDP) and DisplayPort1.2, and the output resolution for Displayport 1.2 is up to 4K2K, offering stunning graphics and imaging.

Intelligent Software Built-in for IoT Applications

AIMB-205 bundles with Advantech’s exclusive IoT WISE-PaaS/RMM software, which is a smart value added software framework that helps users monitor, control and manage their devices remotely in real-time. WISE-PaaS/RMM offers a system data recovery function powered by Acronis and system a protection function powered by McAfee to ensure reliable operation and security protection which is ideal for the banking industry or any other kind of embedded application.
