The carrier board supplied with the Application Kit ECUcore-1021 integrates a variety of common high-speed interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB3.0, SATA3.0, PCI-Express, LVDS, DVI and SD-Card. In addition, various other communication interfaces and user input elements including CAN, RS485, RS232, PMOD, Arduino, keyboard, scroll wheel, audio, push buttons and LEDs are available on the board. The included Application Carrier Board schematic can be used as a basis for custom hardware designs and significantly speeds up development time by eliminating typical QorIQ LS1021A chip configuration or power supply design errors.

This wide variety of on-board peripherals is an ideal basis for implementing your own IoT gateway applications. Supported by an industry-proven Linux version and up to 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Application Carrier Board integrates well into existing IT infrastructures. Additionally, it supports WLAN interface cards connected via MiniPCIe.

Both the on-board SD card and the mSATA sockets enable easy integration of mass storage on the Application Carrier Board.
