Industrial @Raspberry_Pi Alternative

Andrew Neale

If you have developed your prototype on a Raspberry basis and are now looking for an adequate replacement, you may find it in the ND108T from ICP Deutschland GmbH.

The industrial PICO-ITX board is only 100x72mm in size and is delivered with an ARM Cortex A53 processor from the NXP i.MX8M family.

It’s available as both a Quad Core and a Dual Core with 1.5GHz as well as three memory sizes of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB LPDDR4 SDRAM with 1600MHz clock rate. The eMMC memory is delivered preloaded with 8Gb, 16GB or 32GB. The ND108T’s memory can be expanded via a Micro SD card slot.

In the basic version, ND108T comes with HDMI 2.0 with 4K resolution, GbE, two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, one RS-232/422/485, and audio line-out and mic-in. A USB 2.0 OTG or the UART are also available for programming and debugging.

In addition to the standard Mini-PCIe with PCIe and USB signal, a Raspberry PI compatible 40 pin header with GPIO signal is available as an expansion slot. For the 40 pin GPIO interface the API library is available. If required, the basic version can be upgraded. Dual GbE or other display connectors like LVDS or Display Port are optionally available.

The ND108T operates with a 12 Volt power supply in a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and complies with the CE/FCC Class B standard. Both Yocto and Android are available as Board Support Packages for the ND108T.
