Advantech iManager

Advantech's platforms come equipped with iManager, a micro controller that provides
embedded features for system integrators. Embedded features have been moved
from the OS/BIOS level to the board level to increase reliability and simplify integra-
tion.
iManager runs whether the operating system is running or not; it can count the boot
times and running hours of the device, monitor device health, and provide an
advanced watchdog to handle errors. iManager also comes with a secure and
encrypted EEPROM for storing important security keys or other customer defined
information. All the embedded functions are configured through API and provide cor-
responding utilities. These APIs comply with PICMG EAPI (Embedded Application
Programmable Interface) specifications and unify in the same structures. This makes
these embedded features easier to integrate, speed up development, and provide
software continuity during hardware upgrade. Please refer to Advantech iManager
2.0 Software API User Manual for more details.
