An embedded computer is a highly integrated computer system that is usually used in specific application scenarios, such as industrial control, network communication, audio and video processing, etc. The configuration selection of embedded computers mainly depends on the needs and performance requirements of the application. The following are recommended configurations for some key components:
Processor. Embedded computers may use a variety of processors, including ARM, X86 architecture processors, etc. When choosing, you need to consider the performance, power consumption, and whether the processor meets the needs of specific applications.
Memory. It is recommended to choose a memory of 16G or more, and try to choose dual-channel and high-frequency memory to provide better performance.
Storage. It is recommended to choose a solid-state drive of 512G or more to meet storage requirements.
Graphics card. For embedded development, there is no high requirement for graphics cards. Using a thin and light notebook with integrated graphics cards can fully meet the needs, unless you need to run large games or graphics processing tasks, you need a discrete graphics card.
Screen. It is recommended to choose a large screen of 15.6 inches or more to provide a better programming and operating experience.
Operating system. Embedded systems may run dedicated operating systems such as Windows CE, Win XP Embedded, Linux, etc., or bare metal systems without operating systems, depending on application requirements.
Development interface. Embedded development usually requires external development boards and other hardware, so the expansion interface of the notebook is very important. It is recommended that the notebook has a USB 3.0 or higher interface to facilitate daily external development boards, U disks, mobile hard disks and other peripherals.
CPU performance. It is recommended to choose a CPU with a main frequency of more than 2.5GHz, generally i5 or R5 CPU is sufficient.
