The GW8200 is a member of the Gateworks 8th generation VeniceFLEX family of single board computers targeted towards multi-radio WiFi and 5G access points, gateways and routers. The GW8200 features the NXP™ 64-bit 1.6GHz i.MX8M Plus Quad Core ARM® Cortex™-A53 SoC, two GbE ports, 1GBytes of DRAM, and 8GBytes 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 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. The board also includes a 3-axis accelerometer, optional GPS receiver w/PPS support and optional TPM 2.0 security element.
This 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) provides embedded features such as a 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 power header or over Ethernet using an optional isolated 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter (GW168PB0). An open-source Ubuntu Linux BSP is provided for quick product development.
