Software API: An interface that defines the ways by which an application program may request services from libraries and/or operating systems. Provides not only the underlying
drivers required but also a rich set of user-friendly, intelligent and integrated interfaces, which speeds development, enhances security and offers add-on value for Advantech platforms.
It plays the role of catalyst between developer and solution, and makes Advantech embedded platforms easier and simpler to adopt and operate with customer applications.

General Purpose Input/Output is a flexible parallel interface that
allows a variety of custom connections. allows users to monitor
the level of signal input or set the output status to switch on/off
the device. Our API also provide Programmable GPIO, allows
developers to dynamically set the GPIO input or output status
SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel
Corporation in 1995. It is used in personal computers and
servers for low-speed system management communications.
The SMBus API allows a developer to interface a embedded
system environment and transfer serial messages using the
SMBus protocols, allowing multiple simultaneous device
control.

Philips for use in their televisions in the 1980s.
The I2C API allows a developer to interface a embedded
system environment and transfer serial messages using the I
protocols, allowing multiple simultaneous device control.
The Brightness Control API allows a developer to interface
Embedded device to easily control brightness.
The Backlight API allows a developer to control the backlight
(screen) on/off in Embedded Device.
The BIOS Flash utility allows customers to update the flash
ROM BIOS version, or use it to back up current BIOS by
copying it from the flash chip to a file on customers’ disk. The
BIOS Flash utility also provides a command line version and
API for fast implementation into customized applications.
The embedded application is the most important property of
a system integrator. It contains valuable intellectual property,
design knowledge and innovation, but it is easy to be copied!
Embedded Security ID utility which provides reliable security
functions for customers to secure their application data within
embedded BIOS.
The Monitoring is a utility for customer to monitor the system
health, like Voltage, CPU and System temperature and FAN
speed. These items are important to a device, if the critical
errors happen and not be solved immediately, a permanent
damage may be caused.

A watchdog timer (WDT) is a device that performs a specific
operation after a certain period of time if something goes wrong
and the system does not recover on its own.
A watchdog timer can be programmed to perform a warm boot
(restarting the system) after a certain number of seconds.
The Hardware Monitor (HWM) API is a system health
supervision API that inspects certain condition indexes, such as
fan speed, temperature and voltage.
The Hardware Control API allows developers to set the PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) value to adjust Fan Speed or other
devices; can also be used to adjust the LCD brightness.
Make use of Intel SpeedStep technology to save the power
consumption. The system will automatically adjust the CPU
Speed depend on the system loading.
Refers to a series of methods for reducing power consumption in
computers by lowering the clock frequency. These API allow user
to lower the clock from 87.5% to 12.5%.
The eSOS is a small OS stored in BIOS ROM. It will boot up
in case of main OS crash. It will diagnose the hardware status,
and then send an e-mail to administrator. The eSOS also
provide Remote Connection: Telnet server and FTP server for
administrator to rescue the system.
Flash Lock is a mechanism to bind the Board and CF card
(SQFlash) together. User can “Lock” SQFlash via Flash Lock
function and “Unlock” by BIOS while booting. A locked
SQFlash cannot be read by any card reader or boot from other
platforms without a BIOS with “Unlock” feature.
