Single Board Computer (SBC)
Contact UsLinux/Anroid-based single-board computers (SBC) have gained popularity for various applications due to wide hardware compatibility, flexibility and versatility. You can implement your product idea on one of our industrial grade single board computers directly and save the 3-6 months platform development time.
Compared to traditional industrial PC-based solutions, Inelco Hunter single board computers offer industrial grade stability, cost effective, lower-power consumption and longevity support. You can directly access all the low-level hardware interface such as I2C, SPI, RS232, CAN, USB and MIPI-CSI/DSI without add-on card/adaptors. Typical application of our SBC products include: Instrumentation, IoT and Factory Automation, Advance HMI (Smartphone-like GUI), Medical Devices, Smart Home Automation, Building Management system, POS machine/EV charging point and Robotics
Inelco Hunter offer a full range of single board computers which cover all your application needs
Frequently Asked Questions
Compared to industrial PC, what is the advantage of using SBC in my new project?
SBCs offer several advantages over traditional industrial PCs. They consume significantly less power and are smaller in size. Additionally, SBCs allow you to directly control low-level hardware interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, and MIPI-CSI, which might require add-in boards in a PC-based solution. Some SBC models also provide edge computing capabilities, enabling you to run AI and machine vision applications directly on our SBCs to better meet your project requirements.
Hacker board or Raspberry Pi-like module are very cheap and powerful, why should I select IHL SBC solution?
SBC solutions are designed and engineered for commercial and industrial applications use. They are fully customizable based on your project requirements.

I want to use SBC in my new project, how should I get started?
Contact Inelco Hunter to help you to select the right product that suit your project’s requirements, purchase samples or a development kit from Inelco Hunter to evaluate the SBC’s performance. Begin the development process, testing and deploying your product to the field.
My project will run machine vision/learning applications locally without connection to cloud, which SBC should I select?
For running machine vision and machine learning applications locally without relying on a cloud connection, you should consider SBCs that come with built-in AI accelerators, such as the WB-EDM-G-IMX8M-PLUS and AXON-WIZARD-IMX8M-PLUS. These SBCs offer 2.3 TOPS of AI computation power while maintaining low power consumption. You can implement your preferred AI models on these SBCs and run them locally at a decent speed for your machine vision and machine learning applications
What O/S does SBC support?
Our SBC supports a variety of operating systems, including Android, Ubuntu, Debian Linux, and Yocto. Depending on the specific product, you may also have access to free pre-built images for these operating systems.
Can Inelco Hunter support custom SBC design?
Yes. Inelco Hunter can provide custom SBCs tailored to your project’s specific requirements. Please contact Inelco Hunter for more information.
Do I need special tools for the application s/w?
No, you can use the any toolchain which supports Linux/Android application program development.
