2.1 Introduction The SM-B69 is a SMARC Rel. 2.1 compliant module based on the Intel® Atom , Pentium® and Celeron® family of System-on-Chips (SOCs) formerly coded as Apollo Lake, a series of Single/ Dual / Quad 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 ering the computing abilities of a standard board, with the possibilities of combining with a...
