PC Engines APU.4D4 system board, 4GB RAM

Product description

Thanks to Alix's modular architecture, this piece of hardware can be used on more than 50 different applications in the field of built in devices, both broadband management and firewall and routing applications. The boards can also be installed in multimedia applications as well as on wireless points or VPN gateways. This new model offers a big leap in performance and capacity.

• CPU: AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC, 1 GHz quad Jaguar core with 64 bit and AES-NI support, 32K data + 32K instruction cache per core, shared 2MB L2 cache.
• DRAM: 2 or 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM
• Storage: Boot from SD card (internal sdhci controller), external USB or m-SATA SSD. 1 SATA + power connector. mSATA is shared with miniPCI express.
• 12 V DC, about 6 to 12 W depending on CPU load. Jack = 2.5 mm, center positive
• Connectivity: 4 Gigabit Ethernet channels (Intel i211AT)
• I/O: DB9 serial port, 2 USB 3.0 external + 2 USB 2.0 internal, three front panel LEDs, pushbutton
• Expansion: 3 miniPCI express (J13 USB or mSATA, with SIM; J14 USB only, with SIM; J15: full miniPCI express, but no SIM, intended for wifi). GPIO header, optional I2C bus, COM2 (3.3V RXD / TXD).
• Board size: 6 x 6" (152.4 x 152.4 mm) - same as apu1d, alix2d13 and wrap1e.
• Firmware: coreboot (please contact support@pcengines.ch for source code if desired).
• Cooling: Conductive cooling from the CPU to the enclosure using a 3 mm alu heat spreader (included).

C and D series improvements

• Change battery holder footprint to avoid contact problems.
• Add series resistor to W_DIS# signal on miniPCI express to support Quectel EP06 modules.
• Minimize leakage from V3A to V3 rail (SD card compatibility)
• Fix USB header J12 pinout.
• Change SIM switch to FXLA2203, FXLA2204 went EOL.
• New 2GB version apu4c2, single SIM socket.
• Optional 10 pin LPC header to allow for future TPM option.
