The EDATEC ED-SBC2300 is an industrial mini-ITX motherboard built around the Raspberry Pi CM4. The motherboard offers various storage options including eMMC flash, microSD card, and mSATA SSD. It supports dual displays (HDMI + LVDS or HDMI + eDP with touchscreen), offers diverse connectivity with USB, GbE port, RS232, RS485, and GPIO, and boasts integrated security features like RTC, EEPROM, and crypto authentication. The board supports a wide 9V-36V DC power input and PoE is also an option through an add-on board. With its compact size, flexible I/O, and industrial-grade features, the ED-SBC2300 series suits applications like kiosks, digital signage, industrial automation, and IoT devices.
Previously we have written about similar products from EDATEC including the RPI CM4-based industrial computer, the EDATEC ED-HMI2320-156C fanless panel PC, and the EDATEC ED-HMI2120-101C, also an industrial panel PC with an 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen. Feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topic. It also offers an alternative to other Arm/RISC-V motherboards such as Radxa ROCK 5 ITX and Shenzhen Milk-V Jupiter.
