The SBC4661 is a powerful 1GHz Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9 with multiple camera-ready ports, abundant USB 3.0 ports, and dual Gigabit Ethernet. Freescale’s i.MX6® multimedia CPU includes ARM’s NEON GPU for running multi-media applications or multiple videos. Also on-board is a powerful Kintex®-7 FPGA with its own DDR3 memory, plus 22 differential 10-bit analog ports and over 250 digital I/O lines, making the SBC4661 a highly user configurable industrial controller.

Ideal for vision and radio applications, the SBC4661 includes hardware interfaces and software support for popular camera interfaces including MIPI CSI, NTSC/PAL, FLIR® Thermal Imaging, USB3 Vision®, GigE Vision®, CameraLink®, and CoaXPress®. On-board vision processing can be hosted and processed in the Kintex-7 FPGA and output into multiple video configurations.

The SBC4661 has standard industrial I/O including a real-time clock, watchdog timer, audio support, 24-bit LVDS and TFT flat panel display, HDMI, 4-wire touchscreen interface, one PWM output, SATA II, two SD/MMC card slots, and multiple USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. Additional I/O expansion through StackableUSB provides DAC and ADC board-to-board communication via USB, I2C, and/or SPI.
