Hardware
Featuring a 1.0GHz NXP i.MX 6Quad ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core SoC, the VIA AMOS-825 delivers a highly-capable and power-efficient system for compute- and multimedia-intensive in-vehicle infotainment and navigation applications.
A completely fanless system with a ruggedized design, the VIA AMOS-825 measures just 15.5mm (W) x 48.1mm (H) x 103.3mm (D), and supports a wide operating temperature range from 0°C ~ 60°C, a wide voltage input from 9-36V, and ignition-controlled quick boot.
Its highly-efficient design affords an extremely low power consumption of just 7W under typical operation. In addition to 1GB DDR3 memory and 16GB eMMC Flash storage, the system has a rich array of I/O and connectivity features, dual CAN/COM, GPIO, USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Its SCSI 50-pin D-sub connector minimizes the amount of system cabling required.
Software
The VIA AMOS-825 Android EVK package features Android 6.0 as well as the VIA Smart ETK comprising a number of APIs, including Watchdog Timer (WDT) for safeguarding against system crashes, GPIO access, COM port access, RTC for auto-power on, and a sample app. A full set of Android software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs are also available. The VIA AMOS-825 is also Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT.
Customization
You can enhance the functionality of the VIA AMOS-825 system with the integration the EMIO-2550 3.75G HSPA/UMTS full-size miniPCIe Mobile Broadband Module. An optional 7″ projective capacitive touch monitor is also available in order to facilitate complete system development.
A full set of hardware and software customization services that speed up time-to-market and minimize development costs is also available.
Solutions
Combining high performance and low power consumption with a ruggedized ultra-compact design optimized for demanding in-vehicle usage requirements, the VIA AMOS-825 system provides a reliable and versatile solution that can be customized for a wide variety of smart transportation applications.
The system has been successfully deployed by Japan Taxi Co., Ltd for enabling smart taxi applications and services such as navigation, route tracking, driver notifications, passenger pickups, and electronic payments – resulting in increased customer satisfaction and enhanced driver productivity and safety.
