Linux boards are compact computer boards and mini PCs that run Linux as the operating system. They suit embedded control, kiosks, digital signage, edge gateways and light industrial automation. Buyers choose them for low power draw, small size and long-term support from the Linux software ecosystem.
The Thinvent range includes Linux-ready mini PCs. Each unit in the range uses an Intel® processor N5095A, which has 4 cores, a maximum frequency of up to 2.9 GHz and a 4 MB cache. Every unit includes 16GB DDR4 RAM and ships with Ubuntu Linux. A 12V 5A adapter powers each unit.
