Advantech MIO-5356: Industrial 3.5-Inch SBC with Intel Core Series 3 “Wildcat Lake” SoC

The Advantech MIO-5356 is the first hardware platform we’ve encountered based on Intel’s upcoming Core Series 3 (Core 300) “Wildcat Lake” SoC. This 3.5-inch single-board computer (SBC) is intended for industrial use and can be powered by the Intel Core 7 350 hexa-core processor.

This fanless board supports up to 64GB DDR5 memory, NVMe SSD storage, and can handle up to three displays independently through USB-C, HDMI, and LVDS interfaces. It features 2.5GbE and GbE networking with TSN and OOB management, as well as WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity via M.2 sockets. Additional features include audio connectors, six USB ports, RS232/RS485 interfaces, CAN Bus interfaces, and more.
