Axiomtek announced a rugged, Linux-friendly box PC based on a quad-core 2GHz Celeron SoC, and featuring multiple display outputs, serial ports, and PCI slots.



The eBOX638-840-FL runs on the quad-core Intel Celeron J1900 processor of the latest Bay Trail-D associated with the Atom E3800 (Bay Trail I) line of SoCs. At 9.05 x 7.56 x 5.14 inches, it’s much larger than Axiomtek’s Atom E3845 based eBOX620-841-FL computer. This is primarily due to the availability of two full-sized PCI slots. There’s also an internal mini-PCIe slot for additional expansion.

The eBOX638-840-FL supports -10 to 55°C operating temperatures, and offers vibration resistance and an IP30-rated aluminum case. Applications are said to include passenger information systems, in-vehicle PCs, entry-level gaming, video surveillance, and various automation tasks.

You can load up to 8GB of DDR3L RAM on the device. There’s also an mSATA socket and a SATA port for 2.5-inch drives. The computer ships with dual gigabit Ethernet ports, plus optional WiFi or 3G.

The eBOX638-840-FL is notable for offering six serial ports. Additional I/O includes four USB 2.0 ports, one internal USB 3.0 interface, a PS/2 port, and audio I/O. Dual displays are supported when using both the VGA and HDMI ports.

The system has a wide-range, 16VDC to 28VDC power supply, and runs on a maximum of 10 Watts, says Axiomtek. The eBOX638-840-FL can also “dynamically increase the processor’s frequency to accommodate a burst of speed when users need it, and increased energy efficiency when they don’t,” says the company.
