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.
