2.1 Introduction

SBC-984 is a Single Board Computer, measuring just 80 x 67 mm (3.15" x 2.64") based on embedded NXP i.MX6 processor, an ARM

Single-, Dual- and Quad-Core, with frequencies up to 1.2GHz, which is ideal for applications requiring multimedia capabilities and/or high levels of parallel

computing maintaining advantages offered by low-power consuming ARM architecture in an extremely reduced space.

Graphics features of the board are managed directly by NXP i.MX6 processors, which integrate up to three separated accelerators for 2D, OpenGL

and OpenVG , giving the processor incredible graphical performances (OpenVG accelerator is not available with i.MX6 Solo and Dual Lite processors).

The board is able to support up to 3 independent displays, which can be driven through the HDMI connector and/or the LVDS connector. LVDS interface is also

able to drive one 18/24 bit Single / Dual Channel display as well as two independent 18/24 bit Single Channel displays. Using i.MX6 Dual Lite and Solo

processors, support is limited to 2 independent displays.

The board is completed with up to 2GB DDR3 (up to 1GB with i.MX6 Solo) directly soldered on board, and one eMMC Flash Disk, directly accessible like any

standard Hard Disk, with up to 8GB of capacity. Mass storage capabilities are completed by the half-length mSATA slot, which can also be used to host miniPCI-e

cards.

RGMII i.MX6 native interface is internally carried to a Micrel KSZ9031RN Ethernet Transceiver, allowing the implementation of a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

USB native ports are carried to two USB2.0 USB Hub controllers, which allow implementing three standard USB 2-0 Type A ports, one USB OTG (micro-AB

connector) and another internal USB port, intended for the connection of optional WiFi modules.

The features of this extremely versatile and compact board are completed by an AC'97 Audio Codec, which manages an internal LineOut and Min in connector,

and one RS-232 Serial port.

It is possible to have the board in EXTREME version, where all the components mounted onboard are certified to work in industrial range, therefore the board is

specifically developed to work in range -40°C ÷ +85°C..
