A platform management 
application software developed 
based on BPI, which enables 
users to check the status of 
embedded PCs, keep daily 
records, and basic functions 
commonly used by embedded 
computers, such as WDT, GPIO, 
Hardware monitoring, and etc.   

All the motherboards/complete 
PCs that support BPI can run 
eManager, and the sub-functions 
depend on the specific 
motherboard. For those which do 
not support BPI, customization 
service can be provided. (Please 
consult customer service for the
