Optional 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces enable high data throughput and direct connection to the backbone network. Fully qualified G28 products will be available starting in September.
One of the key advantages of the G28 is its scalability. Regarding memory configuration, it supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 ECC DRAM. Soldered to the board, the components are recessed and further coated to ensure optimal shock and vibration resistance and high durability under harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, the CPU's scalability from 25W to 45W TDP and from 4 to 8 cores allows operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with active cooling. Thus, a single, robust computing platform can cover diverse environmental conditions and market applications.
In the onboard rail market, the G28 is used as a central maintenance and virtualization platform and as the main computing unit for passenger internet and Wi-Fi access. As part of a railway server system, the single-board computer is used for system status monitoring. Meanwhile, in medical applications, the G28 offers reliable computing performance for, for example, surgical robots and factory automation, motion control, and robotics in industrial automation.
Board Security and Management:
Since system security is another key aspect of embedded systems, the G28 features a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) that enables remote device authentication, controlled boot, and secure updates.
Additionally, a separate Board Management Controller (BMC) monitors board voltages, current, and temperature, and performs specific tasks such as managing the external watchdog, controlling the power supply, and managing the reboot process.
Standard Interfaces
: For I/O connections, the G28 features three front-panel RJ45 connectors or two M12 Ethernet ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 connector, and one USB-C connector for USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 and DisplayPort. The board's primary interfaces include four SATA (6 Gb) ports, eight PCIe 3.0 root slots with various x1, x4, and x8 channel configurations, and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports.
Future-proof embedded computing.
Supported operating systems include Yocto Project Linux distributions, 64-bit Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and real-time operating systems compatible with Intel® multi-core architecture. Long-term component availability for a minimum of ten years ensures extended product lifespan and future-proofing. The G28 is backward compatible with predecessor products G25, G25A, and G23.
