2.1 Introduction

SBC-A80-eNUC is a Single Board Computer in embedded NUC form factor (just 101.6 x 101.6mm) based on the N-Series Intel

Series Atom family of System-on-Chips (SoCs) formerly coded as Braswell, a series of Dual / Quad Core SoCs with 64-bit instruction set and very low TDP.

These SoCs embed all the features usually obtained by combination of CPU + platform controller hubs, all in one single IC, which allows, therefore, the system

minimisation and performance optimisation, which is essential for boards with sizes so reduced as for embedded NUC SBCs.

This single chip solution includes the memory controller, which gives support for up to 8GB of DDR3L-1600 SODIMM Memory.

All SoCs embed an Intel

Gen 8-LP graphic core, which offers high graphical performances, with support for Microsoft

OpenGL ES 3.0 and HW acceleration for video decoding of HEVC, H.264, MPEG2, MVC, VC-1, WMV9, JPEG/MJPEG and VP8 video standards (for H.264, MVC

and JPEG/MJPEG also HW encoding is offered). This embedded GPU is able to drive three independent displays, by using the HDMI, the miniDP++ and eDP

interfaces. Any combinations of these video interfaces are supported.

Further features, managed directly by the N-Series Intel

SATA Channels (one used for the common SATA / SSD drives, the other used to implement a M.2 Socket 2 Key B SSD slot), microSD interface, five USB ports

(two USB 3.0 on standard Type-A sockets, one USB 2.0 on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity slot and two USB 2.0 on internal pin header), HD Audio, two UARTs

(which are made available with software-configurable RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 interface) and three PCI Express lanes (two PCI express lanes are used for the

implementation of two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the other is carried out on M.2 Socket 1 Key E Connectivity slot)

This board is suitable both for IoT applications, due to its rich connectivity, and for industrial applications, since it can accept supply voltages in the range +18V

+ 32V

(recommended voltage range).

The board offers the possibility of expansion by using M.2 modules (both for mass storage and connectivity expansion), which is one of the most recent standards

for expansion modules. This guarantees to the SBC-A80-eNUC board a wide possibility of expandability even for the future.
