The GW9200 is a member of the Gateworks 9th generation Catalina family of single board computers targeted towards high-performance multi-radio WiFi 6/7 and 5G access points, gateways and routers. The GW9200 features the NXP™ 64-bit 1.8GHz i.MX95 Six Core ARM® Cortex™ A55 SoC, one 10 GbE port, two GbE ports, 4GBytes of DRAM, and 64GBytes of eMMC Flash. In addition, there are two flexible expansion sockets (FSA) for Mini-PCIe or M.2 support. These FSA sockets can support a wide variety of M.2 keys and can be used for PCIe, USB, I2C, UART, SDIO, SPI & PCM Express peripherals. This flexibility will also enable the support of devices with SDIO or SPI interfaces such as 802.11ah HaLow and LoRa radios. The board additionally features Digital I/O, Analog Input, RS232/RS485/TTL Serial, I2C, SPI and dual isolated CAN busses. A MIPI header offers either MIPI-DSI or MIPI-CSI. The board also includes a 3-Axis accelerometer, optional GPS receiver w/PPS support, an optional TPM 2.0 security element and an optional EdgeLock FIPS140 Level 3 security element.
The SBC is CE-ready and has been designed to pass the stringent surge, burst and ESD requirements for CE industrial products. The Gateworks System Controller (GSC) is also included which provides embedded features such as real-time clock, voltage and temperature monitoring, programmable pushbutton, and programmable board shut-down and wake-up for remote applications. A wide-range DC input power supply allows the board to be used in a variety of environments. Power is applied through a dedicated header or over Ethernet using an optional isolated 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter. An open source Ubuntu Linux BSP is provided for quick product development.
