PC Engines APU2E5 Embedded Box Starter Kit – 1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 3x LAN

This board version is intended for applications that require 2x 3G/LTE modems. SIM sockets can be exchanged under GPIO control, allowing failover between two different networks even if only one modem is used. Another feature is the build option for a regular PCI Express slot on the side.

The Embedded Box Starter Kit includes:

• APU2E5 system board
• 12 V, 2 A power supply unit
• Embedded Box

• 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 2 MB L2 cache
• DRAM: 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM
• Storage: boot from SD card (internal sdhci controller), external via USB or m-SATA SSD, 1x SATA + power connector, mSATA shared with miniPCI express
• 12 V DC, approx. 6 to 12 W depending on CPU load, power connector = 2.5 mm, centre positive
• Connectivity: 3x Gigabit Ethernet channels (Intel i211 NIC)
• I/O: DB9 serial port, 2x USB 3.0 external + 4x USB 2.0 internal, 3x front panel LEDs, buttons
• Expansion: 3x miniPCI express (J14 USB or mSATA, with SIM; J15 USB only, with SIM; J16: full miniPCI express, but no SIM, intended for Wi-Fi), GPIO header, optional I2C bus, COM2 (3.3V RXD/TXD)
• Board size: 6 x 6 inches (152.4 x 152.4 mm) – same as apu1d, alix2d13 and wrap1e
• Firmware: coreboot
• Cooling: conductive cooling from the CPU to the case with a 3 mm aluminium heat spreader (included)
