The Embest SBC8018 Single Board Computer is a compact, high-performance controller board. It is built with TI’s AM1808 ARM9 low-power application processor which enables OEMs and ODMs to create devices featuring robust operating system support, rich user interfaces, and high processing performance.

The SBC8018 Single Board Computer uses the full features of the AM1808 microprocessor and has 128MB Mobile DDR SDRAM and 128MB Nand Flash on board. It has exposed many other hardware interfaces including Serial port, LCD/TSP, USB Host/OTG, Ethernet, Audio, SATA, two Camera, TF card, etc. It has one 14-pin JTAG interface which can be used with an XDS100v2.

The board is a ready-to-run solution which is provided with Linux 2.6.33 and WinCE 6.0 BSP. It would be an ideal platform for developing products requiring a low-power ARM9 processor with a small form factor for consumer, embedded industrial, medical and other embedded connectivity applications.
