Jetway JMTX-ADN8 mini-ITX motherboard features Intel N97 CPU, dual GbE, three display interfaces

Jetway JMTX ADN8 Mini ITX SBC

The Jetway JMTX-ADN8 is a mini-ITX motherboard built around an Intel N97 (Alder Lake-N) processor. The board supports up to 32GB DDR5 RAM via a single SO-DIMM slot and can drive up to three independent displays powered by Intel UHD graphics. Additionally, it offers dual GbE LAN, nine USB ports both USB3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0, and multiple storage and expansion options including M.2 (M-key, E-key, and B-key) and SATA-III. The motherboard also includes PCI expansion and supports Windows and Linux operating systems. In one of our last posts, we wrote about the Jetway JNUC-ADN1, another Intel N97-powered SBC, but in a smaller Next Unit of Computing (NUC) form factor. Other than that we have written about similar motherboards in mini-ITX from factors including Radxa ROCK 5 ITX, MW-100-NAS, and ASRock IMB-A8000 feel free to check those out if you are looking for mini-ITX motherboards.

Forlinx FET3576-C Rockchip RK3576 SoM powers feature-rich OK3576-C board for AIoT applications

Forlinx FET3576 C SoM and Carrier Board

Forlinx FET3576-C SoM is a new System-on-Module built around the Rockchip RK3576 SoC which features four Arm Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores made from a 22nm lithography process. The SoM is available with 2GB or 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM option and can be equipped with up to 32GB of eMMC storage. Additionally, it has 6 TOPS NPU power and supports standard peripherals like GbE Ethernet, Wifi, Bluetooth, LVDS, MIPI DSI, and much more. All these features make this device useful for IoT, edge computing, digital signage, and many other applications. The new FET3576-C SoM and its OK3576-C development board look very similar to the Forlinx FET3562J-C SoM and related board we covered earlier this month. But the main difference between the two is that the new one is built with the RK3576 SoC whereas the old one is built around the Rockchip RK3562(J) SoC. Previously we also saw that the […]

T2-U WiFi and Bluetooth development board supports the Tuya Smart Home framework

Tuya T2-U development board

The T2-U is a development board compatible with the Tuya Smart Home framework that features a WiFi and Bluetooth module with a 120 MHz RISC processor, some buttons, an LED indicator, GPIOs, power, and a USB-to-serial chip. In 2019, we covered Tuya as a one-stop Smart Home solution allowing companies to easily design and manufacture home automation devices from electronics to the enclosure. For example, the company provides a customizable 4-inch Android touch control panel & Zigbee gateway as well as the Tuya Link SDK allowing customers to further customize the firmware of their Smart Home devices, but I had yet to see a development board compatible with Tuya. T2-U development board specifications: Wireless module – T2-U SoC – Unnamed 32-bit RISC MCU @ 120 MHz with 2 MB flash and 256 KB RAM Wireless Wi-Fi 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless standard.
