VIA VAB-950

Powered by the high-performance, power-efficient MediaTek i500 AIoT platform, the VIA VAB-950 leverages baked-in AI processing to deliver next-generation digital signage, industrial automation, HMI, and a host of other commercial applications. A rich multimedia experience includes hardware accelerated H.265/H.264 Full HD video decoding, and support for MIPI displays and cameras.

Hardware

Based on the EPIC 14cm x 10cm form factor, the VIA VAB-950 features an integrated SIM card slot for LTE / 4G connectivity, plus dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0. A rich I/O array includes HDMI, MIPI DSI and MIPI CSI-2 display and camera support, with multi-function pins for I2C, SPI and GPIO connectivity.

Device connectivity includes support for 8 GPIO devices, 4 USB 2.0 ports, plus 1 USB 2.0 OTG client port. Onboard storage includes 16GB eMMC 5.1 flash memory and a Micro SD card slot, while connectivity is provided by Gigabit Ethernet with support for Wi-Fi and 4G LTE networking. Other I/O options include SDIO 3.0, I²C, PCIe 2.0, SPI, UART, I2S, PWM and JTAG.

Software

The VIA VAB-950 features a Linux BSP which supports Yocto 2.6 and Android 9.0. Software customization services that speed up time to market and minimize development costs are also available.
