S/W Introduction Advantech Embedded Software Services’ mission is to “Enhance quality of life with Advantech platforms and Microsoft Windows embedded technology.” We enable Windows Embedded software products on Advantech platforms to more effectively support the embedded computing community. Customers are freed from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors (Hardware suppliers, System integrators, Embedded OS distributor) for projects.
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.
SOM-6883 Type 6 Pin Assignment This section surveys SOM-6883’s pin assignment on COM Express connector. It is compliant with COMR.0 R3.0 Type 6 pin-out definitions. Contact Advantech to acquire further pin usage details or a design reference. Likewise, please contact Advantech for a design guide, checklist, reference schematic, and other hardware/ software support.
