An entry-level Nuvoton NUC972 ARM9 HMI board with hardware cryptography, two CAN and two RS-485 ports, and an 8-inch display with infrared touch.
Overview
For simple HMIs where cost and power budget are tight, the TV-NUC972 provides a 300 MHz ARM9 processor with 64 MB of in-package DDR2 and hardware AES/SHA/3DES encryption. It drives a standard 8-inch display with multi-point infrared touch and offers two RS-485 and two CAN ports for field devices. The board runs from 12V or a 7.4V lithium battery, which suits portable and battery-backed equipment.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose the TV-NUC972 instead of an RK3568 board?
Choose the NUC972 for simple, low-cost HMIs with basic graphics, CAN/RS-485 control and a tight power budget. Choose the RK3568 when you need rich graphics, video, Android or multiple displays.
Can it run from a battery?
Yes. It accepts 12V DC or a 7.4V lithium battery.
