Description
PC Engines APU2C0 low power embedded x86 computer in a black case. This computer was previously used as a dual band wireless router and additional holes were drilled in the case to support more RP-SMA antenna connectors as shown in the photos. However, the two Wi-Fi Mini PCIe cards could be removed and it could be used for a different purpose. Specifications APU2C0 main board with 2GB RAM, 2x gigabit LAN ports. 1GHz quad core amd64 low power processor (AMD GX-412TC). Full specs for this board are available at https://pcengines.ch/apu2c0.htm Case is model "case1d2blku", also made by PC Engines. Has three status LEDs at front, as shown in photo. First Wi-Fi card is Atheros AR5B225, originally from a laptop. Antenna ports are wired to 2x RP-SMA connectors at back of case. Second Wi-Fi card is a Qualcomm QCA988x ath10k chipset from an unknown OEM. This is is very similar to the Compex WLE600VX card that PCEngines sold with this board when it was new, but it's not the same card. Antenna ports are wired to 3x RP-SMA connectors at back and sides of case. No persistent storage is included. The APU2 can boot from USB 3.0 storage, internal SD card slot, or an internal mSATA SSD. Includes a quality power supply - model Meanwell GST90A12-P1M. This power supply is very over-specified for this application, it can supply up to 80W but in testing I never saw more than 10W consumed at the wall. No AC power cord is included, it takes a standard 3 pin IEC connector ("kettle cord"). Generally good condition, a few light marks on the case and one of the external RP-SMA antennas has cracked plastic knurling. Was fully working when decommissioned. These boards are commonly used to run custom Linux or FreeBSD operating systems. There is OpenWRT support (including for both the installed Wi-Fi cards), etc. Compliance with local RF regulations is not guaranteed, and is responsibility of the buyer. Due to the need to configure custom software on this board, it's not guaranteed to be fit for any particular purpose. Only guaranteed to boot to BIOS over the DB9 serial console and pass a BIOS memtest.
