Functionality
The ITX-P-C444 is an industrial Pico-ITX single board computer (SBC) based
upon NXP’s i.MX 8M application processor and packed with dual Ethernet,
industrial I/O, and expansion options.
The processor supports industry-leading video processing along with an
Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller for real-time subsystems making it an
ideal fit for industrial IoT applications requiring performance in harsh
conditions such as digital signage, industrial automation, energy, building
automation, and others.
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THESE BEST PRACTICES MAY DAMAGE THE ITX-P-
C444 AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Only handle the circuit board and other bare electronics when electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded
workstation is the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on
the product bag is broken.
