Today I’m glad to show you the phyBOARD. This single board computer is designed in mind for special use in a wide range of robust industrial applications. The credit-card sized board is part of a project aiming to cut the cost of SBCs once with an improved circuit design technology. What took days or weeks, now can be released in hours.
The brain of the single board computer is the phyCORE-AM335x. This processor is part of Texas Instruments Sitara™ AM335x family.
This SBC is engineered to offer a wide range of features such as USB, HDMI, CAN, SD, and more. On the software side, the phyBOARD can run Linux, Windows Embedded Compact, and soon the Android operating system.
Why to choose phyBOARD?
This small computer includes in its features over 25 years of PHYTEC SOM design expertise, which is a promise to rise high expectations.
The “Direct Solder Connect” of the SOM, which can be directly soldered onto the PCB, eliminates costly PCB to PCB connectors.
Due to this improved manufacturing process the board is released with a cost effective solution.
Providing flexibility with I/O expansion modules, the phyBOARD is a good embedded system that can accomplish a wide range of user requirements.
The plug-and-play expansion modules include:
- HDMI AV Parallel to HDMI
- HDMI Adapter
- Power Supply Adapter, with broad voltage range
- RS-232, WiFi and CAN Adapter
- Debug Adapter
