Single Board Computers

The Nvidia Jetson TX2 NX single board computer (SBC) is available from Impulse Embedded. At 1.33Tflops it more than doubles the AI processing performance of the earlier Jetson Nano (487Gflops). It is pin-compatible with and has the same form factor as Nvidia’s Jetson Nano. The Jetson TX2 NX SBC combines a dual-core Nvidia Denver 2 64-bit CPU, a quad-core Arm ...

Do you need a quad-core Cortex-A53, 2Gbyte of RAM and 4Gbyte of flash, all on a 29mm square module? Then the solder-down ‘QSXM with i.MX8M Mini’ module from Aachen-based Ka-Ro Electronics might be just the thing. “The QSXM module’s i.MX8M family processor provides a quad core 1,600MHz Arm processor complex as well as a separate GPU and video codec. It combines ...

Taiwanese computer maker Aaeon has signed a deal with Canonical to pre-install Nvidia Ubuntu on Aaeon’s Boxer-8200 embedded PCs which are built around Nvidia Jetson system-on-modules – removing the need for customers to flash an operating system image before first start-up. Systems with the Ubuntu OS will also include Jetpack 4.5 drivers and its toolkit package. “This provides access to the ...

Aaeon has created a server motherboard for Intel’s 3rd generation Xeon Scalable Processors – codenamed Ice Lake-SP. The industrial ATX board is called ARES-WHI0. “This new generation of Xeon SP brings higher processing speeds and Intel’s deep learning boost technology, allowing for greater acceleration and more efficient processing for AI server applications,” according to Aaeon. “ARES-WHI0 takes advantage of the ...

Edge Control is an Arduino with designed to deploy AI at the edge in remote locations. “Optimised for outdoor environments and easy to place anywhere, it is ideal for precision farming, smart agriculture, and any application requiring intelligent control in isolated locations,” according to Arduino. It has a lot of interfaces (table below) can be expanded with 2G, 3G, CatM1, ...

Adaptive system on modules (SOMs) make up the Kria family, developed by Xilinx for AI applications at the edge. The range consists of production-ready embedded boards and developer kit. The small form factor embedded boards are available with a software stack for adaptive computing. The first product released is the Kria K26 SOM, which has been designed specifically for vision ...

Aaeon has created a 3.5in sub-compact LGA1200 socket motherboard for Intel 10th Generation (Comet Lake) Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, as well as Pentiums and Celerons. GENE-CML5 supports processors up to 4.4GHz and up to 64Gbyte of DDR4 memory delivering “fast processing speeds on par with desktop systems”, according to the Taiwanese company. “Additionally, the chipset allows the board ...

Direct Insight has created a QNX 7 board support package (BSP) for Ka-Ro TX8 and QS8 modules, which are built around NXP i.MX8M Mini processors with 64bit Arm cores. It has been developed to provide a starting point for industrial designs. “QNX is ideal for safety-critical projects and is also available in safety-certified versions, making it a perfect match for the ...

Centimetre accuracy is the claim for a single-board computer that includes three satellite positioning receivers, according to its maker Spanish company ArduSimple. The board fits inside 100 x 120mm and is called SimpleRTK2B-SBC. “SimpleRTK2B-SBC uniquely delivers easy mechanical integration with centimetre position on three axes – heading, pitch and roll – outputting on NMEA, RTCM, RS232, and CANBus interfaces, via Ethernet, Bluetooth, ...

Farnell is aiming at IoT device development with a range of single board computers (SBCs), shields, modules and sensors from DFRobot – including LattePanda processor boards. The company will stock more than 140 DFRobot products, including: Gravity Series: Solderless modular plug-and-play electronics toolkit with expansion modules compatible with Ardunio and micro:bit. Modules include the Ardunio moisture sensor, Ardunio pH water quality ...
