Single board computer in Pico-ITX format

15 November 2017 Computer/Embedded Technology

Digi International announced availability of the ConnectCore 6UL SBC Pro, a powerful, secure, pre-certified connected single board computer (SBC) based on the NXP i.MX6UL (Cortex-A7 @ 528 MHz) application processor.

The board offers fully integrated and diverse connectivity options in a compact Pico-ITX form factor (100 x 72 mm) designed to IEC 60068-2-1 standards for industrial operating temperature and rugged shock/vibration performance. It offers integrated wired and wireless connectivity through dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networking, pre-certified dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac networking, Bluetooth 4.2 with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as well as optional cellular capabilities and Digi XBee socket support for a broad line of Digi XBee RF modules for 802.15.4, ZigBee, Thread, DigiMesh and sub-GHz wireless connectivity. Additional features such as 4 GB of eMMC Flash for data logging and storage applications and a wide array of peripheral/interface options provide complete design integration flexibility.

From a software perspective, Digi ConnectCore 6UL SBC Pro is based and tested on the Yocto Project Linux software platform and provides full and royalty-free access to source code through the Digi Yocto Linux board support package (BSP) with Digi TrustFence device security framework. Featuring a complete development environment, the SBC also offers out-of-box support for a variety of 3rd party cellular modules including Huawei, Quectel, Sierra Wireless, Telit and u-blox. The integrated Digi Remote Manager capabilities allow secure remote device management and firmware updates over the air.
