Quick starter kit for evaluating SMARC 2.0 and Intel Atom low power processors

Congatec has produced the SMARC 2.0 quick starter kit for Intel Atom processors (code name Apollo Lake). The kit comes with their first SMARC 2.0 module - the conga-SA5 - and everything developers need for the immediate evaluation of the new SMARC 2.0 standard as well as the latest Intel Atom processor generation. Application engineers of connected Industry 4.0 and wireless IoT devices will appreciate the option of the integrated wireless interfaces with standardized antenna connectors on board. "With SMARC 2.0, developers of highly integrated IoT and Industry 4.0 applications will get the next level of technology on a credit card sized, off-the-shelf module with minimum space requirements. The starter kit is an important building block for our SMARC eco system enabling a quick evaluation of this latest state of the art technology that satisfies various IoT connectivity requirements. The quick starter kit comes with a ready to use SMARC 2.0 module that provides pre-integrated fast WLAN and Bluetooth LE support. Additional connectivity can be supported with dual Gigabit Ethernet for cloud connected appliances with redundancy or for secure firewall solutions." explained Martin Danzer, director of product management at Congatec.
