 Hotkey |
|
GPIO
 |
General Purpose Input Output function is a flexible parallel interface that allows a variety of custom connections and supports Digital I/O devices. |
|
Keyboard Controller
 |
The Keyboard Controller API allows developers to dynamically set short-cuts for different combinations of keyboard events. Customers can also use it to pre-define function keys for a keyboard-less system. |
|
Hotkey VGA Control
 |
This function provides a Hotkey for VGA Control; users can press CTRL plus “+” or “-” to increase or decrease brightness. Pressing Ctrl + 6 for example will give 60% brightness. |
| |
| Monitor |
|
Watchdog
 |
A watchdog timer (WDT) is a function that performs a specific operation after a certain period of time if something goes wrong with the system.
A watchdog timer can be programmed to restart the system after a certain time period when a program or computer fails to respond or hangs. |
|
Hardware Monitor
 |
The Hardware Monitor (HWM) API is a system health supervision API that inspects certain condition indexes, such as Fan Speed, Temperature and Voltage. |
|
Hardware Control
 |
The Hardware Control API allows developers to set the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) value to adjust Fan Speed or other devices; can also be used to adjust the LCD brightness. |
| |
| Video Brightness |
|
Brightness Control
 |
The Brightness Control API allows a developer to interface Windows XP and Windows CE PCs to easily control brightness. |
|
Auto-Brightness
 |
The Auto-Brightness function contains a new API and a Light Sensor IC, so systems can have a built-in Auto-Brightness adjustment utility. |
|
Backlight
 |
The Backlight API allows a developer to control the backlight (screen) on/off in Windows XP and Windows CE. |
|
| |
| Power Saving |
|
CPU Speed
 |
Make use of Intel SpeedStep technology to save the power consumption. The
system will automatically adjust the CPU Speed depending on the system loading. |
|
System Throttling
 |
Refers to a series of methods for reducing power consumption in computers by
lowering the clock frequency. These API allow user to lower the clock from 87.5% to
12.5%. |
|
Smart Hibernation
 |
API for customers to easily enable Hibernation. The Windows hibernation feature conforms to the S4 Sleep State in the ACPI standard. |
| |
| Security |
|
ePlatfromFlash
 |
ePlatformFlash is used to update the Advantech ePlatform BIOS and read/write a security ID into BIOS. |
|
Data Encryption
 |
We use SHA1-160, SHA1-256, SHA1-384, SHA1-512 array values to adopt different algorithms and lengths to encrypt each column to protect the keys. |
|
Security ID
 |
Security consists of 3 different IDs:
- ID: a unique string for each board, ready in the factory - Read Only.
- Vendor ID:unique string for each customer or project, set in the factory - Read Only.
- Customer ID:unique string defined by the customer, and input by the customer.
Together they provide triple protection.
