IoT

One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec

At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.

Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.

Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

Kontron Mini-ITX Motherboard Features Latest AMD CPUs and Chipsets

Kontron KT690/mITX Powered by High-Performance and Cost-Saving AMD Sempron Single Core and AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core Processors

BOSTON, September 19, 2007 - Today, Kontron announced the high-performance and cost-saving Kontron KT690/mITX motherboard based on the smallest ATX compatible embedded form factor Mini-ITX (mITX).The Kontron KT690/mITX is a new, long life mITX motherboard based on the latest AMD M690T + SB600 embedded chipset that supports the high-performance, low power mobile AMD Sempron single core and AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core processors.

These latest embedded processors from AMD deliver extreme performance with up to 16 Lane Hyper Transport support and only 9W to 35W TDP. The Kontron KT690/mITX offers a range of interfaces comparable with larger embedded form factors such as ATX, and is designed for market segments requiring long life availability such as kiosk, medical applications (i.e. ultrasound), multimedia and gaming. These market segments will benefit not only from the increased computing power and better performance-per-watt offered by the Kontron KT690/mITX, but also from increased graphics performance with the integrated Radeon X1250 Graphics Core as well as PCI Express x8.

The Kontron KT690/mITX supports the AMD Sempron 2100+ processor that offers a fanless system design and incorporates AMD64 technology in a 9W power envelope. This processor will provide particular advantages for designers focused on delivering high performance and functionality in embedded client systems. It also features the high shock and vibration specification socket, S1, offering exceptional reliability for rugged computing.

The Kontron KT690/mITX supports all AMD S1 CPUs including the following embedded CPU models:

MODEL PROCESSOR FREQUENCY (MHz) TDP
TL-52 AMD Turion 64 X2 1600 35W
3700+ AMD Sempron 2000 25W
3500+ AMD Sempron 1800 25W
2100+ AMD Sempron 1000 9W

In addition to being based on the latest AMD chipset & processor technology, the Kontron KT690/mITX also boasts a wide range of I/O features that exceeds the latest, standard offerings for many other embedded motherboards:
1x PCI slots
CRT / DVI / TV-OUT (optional) / PCI-Express x8
1x mini PCI-Express connector socket
4x SATA SATA150/300 w. RAID 0/1/10 and 1x ATA133
10x USB 2.0
Supports 32 GB DDR2 SO-DIMM Memory
2x RS232C
Dual independent flat panel support
2x GbE LAN, Internal LPT
Compact flash socket (Topside)
7.1ch HDA sound
8 GPIOs.
Trusted Platform Module onboard

Like Kontrons other embedded motherboards, the Kontron KT690/mITX offers more than five years of anticipated product availability. The Kontron KT690/mITX is a cost-effective solution with low total cost of ownership and offers various hardware monitoring functions through Kontrons Application Programming Interface software. The Kontron KT690/mITX supports Windows XP, Vista and Linux. Samples will be available in Q4, 2007. For more information, please visit www.kontron.com/KT690-mITX
