Introducing Host Monitor X (HMX)
A new generation of Linux-based industrial computers suitable for vehicle telematics and machine learning. An open platform powered by the popular and proven NXP i.MX 8M Plus, a vast range of communication interfaces such as CAN-FD, Ethernet T1, 4G/LTE or 5G, WiFi, GPS and a modern GNU/Linux software stack. Prepared to collect your data
Linux platform and wake up on signal inputs
HMX provide a complete GNU/Linux platform with driver support for all the hardware. The built-in co-processor can wake up the main CPU upon receiving CAN, RTC and digital signals. Modern Yocto distribution distribution built on top of the most recent LTS release (Kirkstone) of the Yocto Project.
Custom applications
TKE can help to integrate telematics successfully into customers’ systems and provide solutions according to requests.
