Description
Minicomputer Asus Tinker Boardwith an efficient processorARM Cortex A17quad-core 32-bit processor with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz. Has2 GB of RAMLPDDR3,16GB eMMC, portGigabit Ethernet,Bluetooth,wi-fi,HDMI 2.0 (4K),4 x USB 2.0,40 GPIO, connectors for card microSD,mini-Jack 3.5 mm,S/PDIF and connectors for CSI and DSI.Works with systems based onLinux. The device is compatible with caps for the Raspberry Pi.
The device has 16 GB eMMC, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0 connector, Ethernet port and many others.
What it takes to run minicomputera Asus Tinker Board S?
- The microSD memory card - carrier, on which will be installed an operating system(the model also has the eMMC).
- AC adapter:
- 5 V / 2 A only for the minicomputer
- HDMI cable- to connect the device to the monitor
- Mouse and keyboard - for control and inputting data into the device
- Connected internet - to download the software
The main differences: Tinker vs TinkerS
The most important difference in relation to earlier version is the application of additional bone of memory 16 GB eMMC which allows for very complex projects. Tinker S also supportsHDMI-CEC that allows you to control other HDMI devices. Audio connector now supportsthe disabling detectionandautomatic switching of the output signal.The board also detects toolow supply voltage. Other changes include a new API interface I2S, as well asthe ability to work as a slave device. The comparison of both versions and Raspberry can be found onthe website www.
Asus Tinker Board S works with systems based on Linux. A disk of the device is eMMC memory or the microSD card.
The manufacturer adds to the device a compatible radiator.
Communication
Asus Tinker Board S has basic communication interfaces that can be found in office computers of PC class. The user has at his or her disposal:
- four USB 2.0, to which can be connected, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a wi-fi card or USB flash drive. If you find that the slots are too short, you can increase their number usingan external USB HUB.
- Ethernet connector, that is the ability to directly connect to the network LAN.
- the wi-fi moduleallows communication with wireless network 802.11 b/g/n.
- Bluetooth 4.0- enables data transmission through the interface.
- GPIO x 40 pin - outputs/inputs with general purpose that can be used to control the LEDs, buttons, drivers of engines. Among them are the pins supporting the interfaces: I2C, SPI and UART. Compatible with caps for Raspberry
- a slot for microSDslot for memory card microSD, on which can be installed the operating system.
Power
As a power source, the system uses the microUSB connector. The manufacturer recommends that the voltage indicated on the plug had a value of 5.0 V and output current of the used adapter shall not be less than 2.0 A. In our assortment, you will finda special power supply.
Cases
Leads of Asus Tinker Board S are compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, therefore, the majority of cases for the popular Raspberry are also compatible with Asus. In our service, we have checked the following cases:
- The graphite case
- Red-white case
