SBC-B68-eNUC SECO

Overview

The SBC-B68-eNUC is a flexible and expandable full industrial x86 embedded NUC™ SBC with the Intel® Atom X Series, Intel® Celeron® J / N Series and Intel® Pentium® N Series (formerly code name Apollo Lake) Processors. Also available in industrial temperature version, the board offers wide range of connectivity options through WLAN and WWAN M.2 slots as well as wide input voltage range. Featuring Quad Channel soldered down LPDDR4-2400 memory, up to 8GB, thanks to its versatile expansion capabilities it is particularly suitable for embedded applications like HMI, multimedia devices, industrial IoT and industrial automation.

Working with the Board

Building an Oniro image

To clone the source code, perform the procedure in: :ref:`Setting up a repo workspace <RepoWorkspace>`.

Linux image

  1. Source the environment with proper template settings, flavour being linux and target machine being seco-intel-b68.
$ TEMPLATECONF=../oniro/flavours/linux . ./oe-core/oe-init-build-env build-oniro-linux
  1. You will find yourself in the newly created build directory. Call bitbake to build the image. For example, if you are using oniro-image-base run the following command:
$ MACHINE=seco-intel-b68 bitbake oniro-image-base

To generate images for SSD Disk, refer to the following Flashing an Oniro image section.

Flashing an Oniro image

Linux image

USB Storage

Prerequisites

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI converter cable
  • HDMI Monitor
  • USB Storage
  • Linux Host

To flash Oniro image using USB storage, perform the following steps:

Prepare an Oniro Bootable USB Stick

  1. Connect USB storage to your host PC.
  2. After the image is built, you are ready to burn the generated image onto the USB storage. We recommend using bmaptool <https://github.com/intel/bmap-tools> and the instructions below will use it. For example, if you are building oniro-image-base run the following command replacing (or defining) $DEVNODE accordingly:
$ cd tmp/deploy/images/seco-intel-b68
$ bmaptool copy oniro-image-base-seco-intel-b68.wic.gz $DEVNODE
  1. Put the card to the board and turn it on.

Run Oniro image

  1. Connect bootable USB to target
  2. Connect mini DP++ to HDMI adapter to HDMI monitor
  3. Power on B68 and press Esc to enter BIOS mode.
  4. Go to Save and Exit submenu
  5. Select the bootable USB device under Boot Override and press Enter.

Testing the Board

Ethernet

Wired connection works out of the box. You can use standard tools like ip, ifconfig to configure the connection.

For any fault in the hardware device, see :ref:`How to handle faulty hardware device <FallbackSupport>`.
