I. Introduction to InBox300
1.1 Overview
By integrating Android OS with Freescale Cortex-A9 double-core 1.0 GHz processor i.MX6,
the InBox300 brings to device manufacturers, especially advertisement & media player
manufacturers who have been relying on X86 based computing platforms a solution of lower
power consumption and less heating. With OpenGLES2.0 and OpenVG™1.1 hardware
accelerators, and full HD 1080P video coding engine, the InBox300 enables media playback
devices to deliver smooth and lively video experiences.
With 1000M Ethernet and 3G/4G cellular network support, the InBox300 is “always online”
for media content update or remote network communication. It has rich peripheral ports including
multiple serial ports, USB ports and HDMI port etc. to connect a wide range of peripherals, from
scanner, printer, ID or traffic card reader, POS device, to infrared touchscreen, video camera,
mouse, LED screen, etc.
The InBox is ruggedized to withstand harsh conditions, supporting 9-24V wide voltage
inputs and wide operating temperatures. It also provides multiple APIs for reading of the hardware
data to enable further development by device manufacturers.
