SBC-SMART-MEN User’s Manual Document Revision v.1.0
Chapter 1 Introduction
This document serves as a user manual and technical reference for the
EMBEDIAN SBC-SMART-MEN single board computer. The manual is
intended for use by engineering personnel working with SBC-SMART-MEN
systems.
By adding a USB hub and Silicon Lab CP2108 and CP2102,
SBC-SMART-MEN expand many RS232s and USB Host ports for users to
interface with their legacy devices.
SBC-SMART-MEN single board computer is a hybrid approach combines a
SMARC COM for the CPU engine with a baseboard for the I/O and application
interface. The advantages of this architecture are that system can be easily
upgraded by simply changing the SMARC module or expanded by replacing
the carrier board. The SMARC module is an industrial standard.

Length x Width: 102mm x 145mm (4.0" x 5.7"), 3.5-inch form factor
24-bit color packing, single channel LVDS port.
18-bit color packing, single channel LVDS port
3.3V or 5V LCD signaling option
Reset Jumper
5V LED Backlight support
