Single Board Computer Gateway

Overview

Description

With the increasing number of IoT devices in smart buildings and industrial settings, there is a strong need for gateways that can manage and control connected devices. A single board computer (SBC) gateway facilitates communication between different IoT devices and protocols, ensuring smooth data transfer and real-time control across devices, which is essential for automation systems.

This SBC gateway system is assembled with a power-efficient MPU that incorporates an Arm® Cortex®-A55 and two Arm Cortex-M33 cores for real-time processing. A broad set of interfaces provides sensor connectivity and network communication options, making this design suitable for environments where energy efficiency, fast processing, and flexible integration with existing infrastructure are important.

System Benefits:

  • Power-efficient and real-time processing with Arm Cortex-A55 combined with dual Arm Cortex-M33, featuring an advanced sleep mode function, provides high-performance computing while maintaining low power consumption, ideal for applications where energy usage is critical.
  • A wide set of sensor connectivity options supported via USB, CAN, RS-485, UART, and I2C ensures interoperability between different devices and networks.
  • Versatile wireless communication enabled via Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, and LTE provides comprehensive connectivity and remote access and control of the gateway.
  • Low-power Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Low Energy communication up to 10Mb/s allows efficient data transfer with low-power operation.
  • A robust, highly integrated power supply with a single multiphase PMIC simplifies gateway design while ensuring efficient power management.
  • Flexible operating voltage options from USB or battery offer versatile power options and adaptability.
