Hardware Options and Compatibility 

FIN Framework software is hardware agnostic. It can run on any suitable device that supports the Windows, Linux or MacOS operating systems.
There is also the option to use our our own F200 Edge Controller.

If you wish to use FIN Framework on embedded hardware, there are three options:

1

Work directly with an existing
OEM of J2 Innovations

Multiple OEMs can offer products, based on FIN Framework, running on their own hardware platform(s). Have a look at our OEM partner list for examples or get in touch with us to find out more.

Run FIN Framework on an embedded PC

FIN Framework can run on any embedded PC (such as IPC, Raspberry Pi) provided the specification meets our minimum requirements (see below). Installation on Windows or Linux based devices is straightforward, and does not require any development or testing, unless you wish to implement RS485 serial port support. More constrained platforms running embedded versions of Linux such as Otaku or Debian will require a small amount of development effort. We can recommend the OnLogic range of fan-less industrial PCs and have tested that FIN runs well on the CL200 and CL210 versions. On request we can supply an image for the CL200 Linux Ubuntu platform. We can also recommend the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE10.
