Faster Time to Market : SUSI's unified API helps developers write applications to control the hardware without knowing the hardware specs of the chipsets and driver architecture.

Reduced Project Effort : When customers have their own devices connected to the onboard bus, they can either: study the data sheet and write the driver & API from scratch, or they can use SUSI to start the integration with a 50% head start. Developers can reference the sample program on the CD to see and learn more about the software development environment.

Enhanced Hardware Platform Reliability : SUSI provides a trusted customer ready solution that combines chipset and library function support. Developing applications using SUSI enhances reliability and brings peace of mind.

Flexible Upgrade Possibilities : SUSI supports an easy upgrade solution for customers. Customers just need to install the new version SUSI that supports the new functions.

Rugged Feature Services Extra Services to Support Operation in Harsh Environments

Wideband Extended Temperature Testing (ETT) Solutions • Phoebus Design, for Designed-in Extreme Temperature Operation A new Advantech ETT solution is “Phoebus Design”, which involves designing a platform and pre-qualifying all onboard components to operate without failure in extreme temperature conditions. Phoebus Design provides 32-hour testing between -40 and 85º C to bring a new dimension to extreme temperature platforms.

Advantech offers a range of services that enable solutions to operate in harsh conditions. Extended Temperature Testing (ETT) services include Advantech' Phoenix operation and Phoebus Design for dynamic and static testing. A PC component conformal coating service provides electrical insulation and add protection from dust, moisture, fungus, corrosion and vibration, and a glue service increases resistance to vibration. Combined with additional services s

• Phoenix Operation, for Wideband Temperature Testing Advantech’s Extended Temperature Testing (ETT) services include Phoenix Platinum, Gold and Titanium Dynamic Burn-in Testing. To begin with, most critical components used for ETT products have already passed military and industrial grade certification and testing from manufacturers. All three Phoenix services provide 16-hour dynamic burn-in testing.

component qualifying and manufacturing in-process testing, these services increased support for outdoor, military, avionics, transportation, remote mo and any mission critical application where the cost of failure is high.

Solution for Preventing Corrosion and Mo

• Ph 85ºC -40ºC

• Conformal Coating Service A conformal coating service is offered to protect the PCB and components from dust, moisture, fungus, corrosion and vibration. The coating can be brushed or sprayed onto the PCB, depending on application needs. A conformal coating can help minimize electromigration between metal conductors. In addition, the use of a conformal coating can protect circuits and components from direct contact that can lead to abrasions or electrical short circuits.

Solution for Resisting Vibration and Shock • Glued DRAM Service These days DRAM modules are more sensitive to contact problems, so Advantech offers a glued DRAM service to keep memory secure in environments prone to shock and vibration. Related services also include soldered CPUs and onboard memory as well as strengthened connectors designed to function in harsh environments. Most importantly, Advantech fully tests these systems before and after component installs, guaranteeing customers receive a solution ready for the most demanding embedded applications.

ACPI Support Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification is supported by the Advantech BIOS in order to fully support modern ACPI compliant operating systems.

Fast Boot We can fine tune the BIOS POST procedure regardless of the customer's configuration to speed up the system POST time. In general, the POST time can be under 10 seconds.

CMOS Backup Provides CMOS back-up function so the system retains settings previous to shut down, thereby reducing maintenance effort.

Blank Boot Some customers want to disable the video output during POST stage and we can provide this function in BIOS.

Customer Specific CMOS Defaults If the customers want to have their own SETUP default settings. The customization is allowed in Advantech embedded BIOS. Custom BIOS Customized BIOS for specific code that can be executed during BIOS POST stage.

VBIOS Support Sometimes the VGA BIOS's register settings must be changed to support a specific display panel. Our AE team can help to find these settings and incorporate them into the VGA BIOS.
