General Description
Measuring only 60mm by 27mm, the Mini8600B processor card is a small form-factor controller board
based on TI’s Sitara AM3359 ARM Cortex-A8 processor. The tiny module integrates 2*256MBytes
DDR3 SDRAM and 512Mbytes NAND Flash and uses two 0.4mm space 2*40-pin board-to-board male
expansion connectors to bring out many hardware peripheral signals and GPIOs from the CPU.
Embest has designed a single board computer SBC8600B which has an expansion board to carry the
Mini8600B. The flexible design allows the fast and easy way of realizing and upgrading the controller’s
capabilities. In additional to those features offered by Mini8600B, the SBC8600B features 5 serial ports
(including 2 RS232 and 3 TTL), 2 USB Host and 1 USB OTG, 2 Ethernet ports, CAN, RS485, LCD,
Touch screen, Audio, ADC and more other peripherals. The SBC8600B is a ready-to-run platform to
support for Linux 3.2.0, Android 2.3 and WinCE 7 operating systems.
