Overview

1.1 Introduction

The ECU-1370 is a high-performance IoT gateway based on the i.MX8M platform. Featuring an open design with a Quad-Core processor, it includes three 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, multiple communication and DIO ports, and an operating temperature range of -40 to 80°C. Running on the Ubuntu 22.04 operating system, the ECU-1370 allows system integrators to develop applications specifically for solar power, electricity generation, and factory settings that require extensive cloud-based data collection. This makes the ECU-1370 an excellent solution for energy storage systems.
