2.1 Introduction SBC-A44-pITX is a Single Board Computer in pico-ITX form factor (just 100 x 72mm) based on the Intel® Atom family of System-on-Chips (SOCs) formerly coded as Bay Trail, a series of Single/ Dual / Quad Core SOCs with 64-bit instruction set. These SOCs embed all the features usually obtained by combination of CPU + platform Controller hubs, all in one single IC, which allows, therefore, the system minimisation and performance optimisation, which is essential for boards with sizes so reduced as for picoITX SBCs, which offers all functionalities of standard PC boards in just 100x72mm....
