Introduction

 
The UC-8410A Series embedded computers support a rich collection
of communication interfaces, including 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports,
3 Ethernet ports, 1 PCIe mini slot for a wireless module, 4 digital input
channels, 4 digital output channels, 1 mSATA slot, and 2 USB 2.0
hosts.
The UC-8410A computer uses the NXP Cortex-A7 dual-core 1 GHz
CPU. This powerful computing engine supports several useful
communications functions, without generating too much heat.
The built-in 4 GB eMMC and 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM give you enough
memory to run your application software, and the SD slot and mSATA
socket provides the flexibility of adding additional data storage. 
The UC-8410A comes with a variety of communication interaces,
including serial ports, Ethernet ports, wireless communication slot, and
digital input/output channels, making them ideal as communication
platforms for industrial applications that require network and device
communications.
The UC-8410A Series comes with Linux Debian 8 preinstalled to
provide an open software operating system for software program
development. This makes the UC-8410A computer an optimal solution
for use with industrial applications, but at minimal cost and effort. In
addition to the standard model, a -40 to 75°C wide-temperature model
is also available for harsh industrial environments.
