PC Engines APU3D4 system board, 4GB RAM

Product description

Thanks to Alix's modular architecture, this piece of hardware can be used on more than 50 different built in device applications, both broadband management and firewall and routing applications.The boards can also be installed in multimedia applications as well as on wireless points or VPN gateways.

APU3D4 is a version used especially in situations of two 3G/LTE modems. Sim slots can be controlled via GPIO and it is possible to enable failover of two different networks between them, even if only one modem is used. Another feature is the regular PCI express slot on the side of the board.

Revision D improvements

• Change battery socket footprint to avoid contact problems.
• Improve power regulator stability.
• Add optional 10 pin LPC header to support tpm4a module.
• Add W_DIS# series resistor to support Quectel EP06 modules.
• Some changes to avoid leakage between V3 and V3A power rails.
• Add signal integrity resistor for core voltage control signal.

Specifikacion

• CPU: AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 1 GHz quad Jaguar core with 64 bit and AES-NI support, 32K data + 32K instruction cache per core, shared 2MB L2 cache.
