Vantron O3Q10-8231 ATOM Based Single Board Computer- FAQs

What is the primary power input requirement?

The board requires a +12V DC input via the designated power connector. Ensure your power supply can provide stable and sufficient current for your connected peripherals.

What operating systems are supported?

The O3Q10-8231 is compatible with various Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Yocto Project) and Microsoft Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise. Always use the OS images and drivers provided by Vantron for guaranteed compatibility.

How do I connect to the board for the first time?

The most common method is via the RS232 Debug Console Port. Use a null-modem cable to connect the COM header to your PC and a terminal emulator (like PuTTY) with the correct baud rate (typically 115200) to access the BIOS or OS command line.

What are the available display output interfaces?

The board supports dual independent displays through:
1x LVDS Interface
1x HDMI Port
1x Embedded DisplayPort (eDP)

How do I enable booting from a specific device (e.g., SATA, eMMC)?

Configure the boot order within the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. You can access the BIOS by pressing the specified key (often Del or F2) during the initial boot sequence when connected via the debug console.

What is the function of the Watchdog Timer?

The Watchdog Timer is a critical feature for unattended operation. It automatically reboots the system if the software hangs or fails to send a periodic “keep-alive” signal, ensuring high reliability in embedded applications.

How can I expand storage?

Beyond the onboard eMMC, you can add storage via:
The mSATA slot for an SSD.
The SATA 3.0 connector for a 2.5″ drive.
External storage via the USB 3.0 ports.

Where can I find drivers and technical documentation?

All essential drivers, a detailed pinout diagram, and the full hardware manual are available for download on the official Vantron product support page for the O3Q10-8231. Never use drivers from unofficial sources.
