Embedded SBC (Single Board Computer) is a new category of small, powerful, and versatile computing systems that are used in current embedded application. In contrast with conventional microcontrollers, Embedded SBCs are integrated processing, connectivity, and multimedia platforms in a single board that is best suited in a project that demands flexibility and scalability.

They support Android and Linux OS and afford developers with a familiar software environment and access to a wide range of libraries, tools, and community resources. This simplifies the creation of custom solutions to the IoT devices, industrial automation, smart home systems, and new advanced human-machine interface. Hardware options are often ARM-based processors, extendable memory, display interfaces, e.g., HDMI, LVDS, or MIPI, and wireless connectivity, e.g., Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so that it can be easily integrated into a broad range of applications.

Embedded SBCs are affordable as well as customizable. Developers are able to customize the operating system, insert device drivers and incorporate third-party applications to suit a particular project. An Embedded SBC provides the flexibility and reliability you require whether you are developing digital signage, machine control boards or next generation consumer electronics.
