FlowStone Embedded
Our embedded system uses an embedded PC called a FitPC, a Solid State Hard Drive (SSHD) called ‘FlowDrive’ which is preinstalled with Windows Embedded and a Micro SD card that contains your FlowStone application that is run automatically on booting.
What You Need
1. FlowDrive
The FlowDrive is at the heart of the system. It's an 8GB Solid State Hard Drive (SSHD) with no moving parts so it's ultra fast to boot. It has Windows Embedded Standard OS pre-installed and is configured to load straight into the FlowStone generated exe that you supply on your Mini SD card.

2. FitPC 2i
The FitPC 2i is a fully functional PC in an incredibly tiny form factor. It is silent and draws 96% less power than a standard desktop.
NOTE: For FlowStone Embedded it is essential that you buy FitPC 2i Diskless, revision 1.2 as the FlowDrive is only configured to run on that version. This is the 1.6GHz system with 1GB RAM.

3. MiniSD Card
Readily available Mini SD cards are smaller SD cards (not to be mistaken with Micro SD) that are usually sold with a standard SD adapter to plug into SD slots on your PC. They can be from 1GB up to several GB in size. 1GB is usually more than enough for any FlowStone application.
