Advantech‘s Secure and Unified Smart Interface (SUSI) has been widely adopted and used in many successful applications. SUSI is a unified suite of Application Programming Interface (API) designed specifically for ease of use and integration with Advantech‘s hardware in mind. Now, Advantech is releasing SUSI v2.0, with two brand new additional API categories and features for Advantech hardware products. Advantech‘s new SUSI v2.0 offers the best embedded software solution for Power Saving & Security application development.
Two Brand New Categories: Power Saving & Security
Advantech SUSI v2.0 package focuses on power consumption by changing the CPU Speed and System Throttling, forcing the system to enter hibernation and save power. Another focus is security, we have implemented the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Random Number Generator (RNG) and SRAM functions, now customers can use RNG and AES to generate random numbers, securely encrypt them, and save them to SRAM.
Advantech platforms are widely used in the industrial marketplace and this new "Power Saving" utility helps customers choose and setup the best power scheme. An added benefit is that if each application can save +1% on power, than all of us can save on power consumption. With Advantech, we can all play our small but important part in working towards a more sustainable future.
1. CPU Speed: Via the CPU Speed Utility, the CPU speed will be automatically adjusted depending on the system load.
2. System Throttling: Refers to a series of methods for reducing power consumption in computers by lowering the clock frequency. These API allow the user to lower the clock from between 87.5% to 12.5%.
3. Smart Hibernation: Allows the system to be completely powered off while in hibernate modes. We provide an API for customers to easily enable Hibernation.
In the Gaming and Medical markets, the system is highly confidential and the data is critical. It is important to securely protect the system and the data. With Advantech‘s security features, you can call the RNG API to generate a random number, call the AES API to encrypt the data, then call the SRAM API to save it.
1. SRAM: With battery backup SRAM module, the programmer can use this external memory to store important data.
2. AES: With AES_Key and AES_Data, customers can use either one to encrypt their data easily.
3. RNG: A Random Number Generator is at the core of every gaming platform. It is sophisticated software that functions as the dealer in all games, shuffling the deck of cards, spinning the roulette wheel, dealing the hand, etc.
SUSI v2.0
SUSI is a unified API library designed to help clients develop, customize and program applications for hardware monitoring and control. In SUSI v2.0, we‘ve added "Power Saving" & Security utilities. "Power Saving" is a ready-to-run utility, for easy power scheme settings. The “Security” utility provides APIs for permitting quick, easy and unified coding for gaming and medical hardware control.
