The UBC-220 is a palm-sized, compact box computer powered by a Freescale ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX6 Dual Lite 1GHz processor with 1GB of onboard memory, and 4GB of eMMC flash memory storage . It is designed as an indoor computing gateway suitable for smart buildings, parking lots, and public spaces. It is on sale at Rutronik.

Featuring dual display support for Full HD 1080P HDMI and single-channel LVDS, Advantech’s UBC-220 is a ready solution for HMI and instant signage. In addition, with USB 2.0 and OTG expansion compatibility, as well as Gigabyte Ethernet and dual mini-PCIe slots for optional Wi-Fi and 3G modules, the box computer has the connectivity to bridge multiple devices in the same network and efficiently acquires raw data for the next generation of cloud-based services.

The computer supports various mounting methods including VESA, DIN rail, and flexible wall mounting. With the specially designed VESA bracket, UBC-220 can be integrated with Advantech openframe monitors to provide a fanless standalone system with rich I/O capabilities that supports device management for complex IoT infrastructures.

As the default operating system, UBC-220 is equipped with embedded Linux. For experienced Yocto Linux developers, Advantech also provides a Yocto Linux board support package as an optional design-in service.

It also provides a complete software toolchain, Linux source code package, and software support service for SW developers, intending to develop a new-generation IoT gateway based on UBC-220.

This offers a stable H/W platform, and the software package and service enable customers to more easily and quickly develop their own apps. In addition to Linux support, an Android OS image and BSP source code for application development are offered, Android Apps can also be integrated.
