General description

The StarSBC-6ULL SBC (Single Board Computer) is small but powerful IoT Sensor Hub, optimized for operation in applications requiring a large number of communication interfaces. The StarSBC-6ULL is equipped with on-board PHY 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet interface, Murata 1DX radio module (integrated WiFi/BLE), USB host and USB-OTG interfaces. The StarSBC-6ULL supports connections to a variety of interfaces: I2C, SPI, UART and CAN. Additionally the StarSBC-6ULL module is equipped with easy to use 2×26 pin connectors with 40 GPIOs for any use in user application.

The StarSBC-6ULL can be optionally equipped with communication expander module SLH2-comm, which is equipped with 2 x CAN, 2 x RS485, 2 x RS232 physical layers interfaces.

The StarSBC-6ULL supports industrial grade embedded applications.
