Venice Single Board Computer Operating Manual
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Product Description
The GW7300-00 is a member of the Gateworks 7th generation Venice family of single
board computers targeted for small embedded applications such as IoT Gateways,
Machine Learning, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) equipment, digital signage, and
robotics. The GW7300-00 features the 64-bit NXP™ i.MX8M Mini Quad Core ARM®
Cortex™-A53 SoC processor operating at 1.6GHz, 1GBytes of LPDDR4 DRAM, and
8GBytes of eMMC System Flash. Three Mini-PCIe expansion sockets can be used for
802.11ax/ac/b/g/n WiFi radios, 5G/4G/3G/CATM1 cellular modems and other PCI
Express peripherals. Peripheral headers support Digital I/O, Analog Input, RS232/485
and TTL Serial, I2C and SPI. A combined MIPI-DSI/CSI header with I2S audio offers
video input/output. A dual configuration connector supports both MicroSD & Nano SIM
simultaneously. A 3-Axis accelerometer is standard. An optional GPS and onboard Laird
Sterling 802.11b/g/n WiFi/Bluetooth module are available. The Gateworks System
Controller provides embedded features such as real time clock, voltage and
temperature monitor, serial EEPROM, programmable pushbutton switch, and advanced
power management with programmable board shut-down and wake-up for remote
sensor applications. A wide-range DC input power supply provides up to 15W of power
to the Mini-PCIe sockets for supporting the latest high-power radios. Power is applied
through a dedicated barrel jack or an Ethernet port in an active 802.3af/at or passive
Power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture. Ubuntu Linux BSP is supported.
