“Presenting the elements of your next design”
Who We Are Boundary Devices designs and manufactures ARM-based single
board computers for the general embedded market but differs from broad market suppliers in our focus on customer service and fast turn-around time.
Founded in 2003 Privately Held 16,000 Square Foot Facility in Chandler, AZ
Why Boundary Devices? 1. Custom Designs/Solutions2. Power-over-Ethernet 3. Display + Touch Screen Support4. Embedded Operating System Support5. Extensive Peripheral Integration
1. Custom Designs/Solutions BD specializes in creating semi-custom
solutions based on its’ wide array of standard products
Time to Market is critical and one size does NOT fit all – optimize solution to meet cost, hardware, mechanical, and software specifications
Custom boards delivered quickly and at a reasonable price
Example 1: Company looking to take existing industrial controls product and give it a facelift. Needs a 4.3” display, video playback, RS485/RS232 support and custom form factor.
IMX53 Custom Development Example
“I like the Ipad but I need it to…” Custom Tablet Development Mining Company needed tablet to send with inspectors to inspect and repair mining equipment Need low power SBC for long battery life but high performance to run Android and a variety of peripherals Wide variety of peripheral requirements including Accelerometer, Compass, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, IR Touch, Bright LEDs, Camera Designed custom IMX535 board to meet customer requirements
2. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Power Electronic Devices via an Ethernet
cable – just requires PoE module and PoE Switch
Allows power AND data to be supplied by the same CAT 5 cable
Removes need for costly electricians to install conduit, wiring, and outlets
Pluggable PoE Module can be used with ANY Boundary Devices Board
On-Shelf Advertising and Access Control are two ideal markets
4.3” PoE Touch ComputerOn-Shelf Advertising
3. Display + Touch Screen BD Products are designed to take advantage of high-end ARM
processors with excellent multimedia capabilities Applications requiring video playback and touch screen
interactivity are a specialty Interfaced with a wide variety of displays:
Over 10 panels supported 3.5” PRGB to 22” LVDS (HDMI/DVI monitors) Five different touch screen models: resistive, capacitive, IR, single and multi-
touch 12.1” Android Tablet with state-of-the-art low power LED
backlit display and capacitive multi-touch 6.2” Player Tracking module for Casino Slot Machines. 4-wire
and 5-wire resistive touch screens
12.1” Android TabletCasino Player Tracking
4. Embedded Operating Systems
Software support is typically the major roadblock for getting products to market
BD provides OS-level software support to help get customers moving quickly and efficiently
All Operating System development is done in-house, so minor OS tweaks can be accomplished in a matter of days
BD supports Windows Ce, Android, and multiple Linux flavors including Ubuntu, Debian, and LTIB
Demo units with customers’ actual software help seal business deals
5. Peripheral Support Integrate virtually any peripheral utilizing wide
array of daughter boards RFID Readers, barcode scanners, ticket/receipt
printers, laser printers, embedded cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Accelerometer, and many more
BD can provide device drivers and sample code for all peripheral devices
Price Checker – PoE 10.4” device with barcode scanner
Turnstile Controller – 5.7” display with speakers, microphone, barcode scanner, relay, Ethernet
Kiosk – Dual 7” displays, magnetic card reader, barcode scanner, RFID reader, receipt printer
