Description
apu2 platform
Update apu2d:
- Reduce leakage current between V3 and V3A power rails (can cause problems with SD cards).
- Add options for better compatibility with LTE modem modules.
Update apu2c:
- Integrate blue wire patches (EMI, power-up circuit) into PCB fab.
| Summary | apu2 is an evolution of the apu board with a cooler running quad core CPU, more robust Intel NICs, and lower total solution cost. |
| Applications | Routers, firewalls, VOIP, dedicated servers, special purpose network plumbing, education tools… |
| 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. |
| DRAM | 2 or 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM, with optional ECC support |
| Storage | Boot from SD card (internal sdhci controller), external USB, m-SATA SSD or conventional SATA SSD / HDD. |
| Power | About 6 to 10W of 12V DC power depending on CPU load. Connect to 2.5 mm DC jack or optional internal header. |
| Expansion | 2 miniPCI express (one with SIM socket for 3G modem). |
| Connectivity | 2 or 3 Gigabit Ethernet channels using Intel i210AT / i211AT NICs depending on the model. |
| I/O | DB9 serial port for serial console, LPC bus, GPIO header, I2C bus, COM2 (3.3V RXD/TXD). |
| Firmware | coreboot open source system BIOS with support for iPXE and USB boot. |
| Form factor | 6″x6″ (152.4 x 152.4 mm), fits in our case1d2*u enclosures. |
| Cooling | Conductive cooling from the CPU to the enclosure through a 3 mm alu heat spreader. Please contact us for advice if you want to integrate this board in your own enclosure. |
