Portwell has chosen Intel Core 3 Processor N355 to be the CPU behind a series of 120 x 120mm Nano-ITX embedded computer boards for edge computing, automation and signage. Sharing the same NANO-6065 series name, there are two other boards: one with a Processor N150 and the other with an Atom x7835RE. “Its processor options allow system designers to tailor ...

Farnell  has launched The DevKit HQ, a new online resource that brings together evaluation boards, development kits, single board computers (SBCs), tools and technical documents in one place. A recent survey of engineering professionals found that finding the right development kit is a big challenge, with many engineers relying on kits to explore new technologies before starting projects. The survey ...

Many electronic devices are produced modularly, connecting printed circuits using special connectors. Samtec supplies this type of sockets in various universal formats, suitable for THT and SMT mounting. The development of technology in the field of precision electronics is associated with the need to handle many power and communication lines. This is a significant challenge for engineers designing modular devices. ...

Aaeon has announced a Raptor Lake (13th Gen Intel Core) processor fan-less industrial PC with industrial-grade I/O and expansion slots for both PCI and PCIe. Called Boxer-6801-RAP, it “was designed with the aim of helping its customers modernise industrial set-ups, pairing advanced features such as multiple PoE LAN and NVMe storage support with both a PCIe and PCI slot for frame ...

Arduino has announced a Linux-capable version of its Uno, called Uno Q and based on a pair of processors: the quad 2GHz Arm Cortex-A53 QRB2210 from Qualcomm for the operating system and the 160MHz Cortex-M33 STM32U585 for real-time processing. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 is included, as is Bluetooth5.1, both with onboard antennas. The QRB2210 Linux processor has a 845MHz ‘Adreno 702’ ...

Supermicro has created a compact fan-less AI edge computer for manufacturing and retail, built around Nvidia’s Jetson Orin NX processor. For inferencing it is “capable of delivering up to 157Top/s for multiple concurrent AI pipelines, combined with high-speed IO interface options including 10Gbit/s Ethernet, 5G and Wi-Fi”, according to Supermicro. Dubbed ARS-E103-JONX, it measures : 185 x 80 x 140mm ...

Raspberry Pi has introduced a board that squeezes a 2230 M.2 PCI Express card slot alongside the fan in a Raspberry Pi 5 case – as well as the Raspberry Pi, of course. ‘M.2 HAT+ Compact’, as it will be known, therefore allows a 30mm NVMe SSDs to be fitted inside the case, or other 30mm PCI Express devices – ...

Nexcom is using Nvidia’s Jetson Orin Nano AI processing module in a rugged industrial PC for smart agriculture. ATC 3561-NA4C is rated at 67Top/s for AI inference – that is INT8 sparse Top/s on the 8Gbyte version in ‘super mode’. “The palm-sized MIL-STD-810H unit resists shock and vibration, and supports an operating temperature range as wide as -25°C to +65°C,” ...

Kontron has selected Intel’s Core Ultra 7 and 5 (Meteor Lake U) processors for its latest 140 x 148mm mini-STX single-board industrial PC motherboard. “K4021-U mSTX features an integrated neural processing unit for AI acceleration. This enables up to 20 times higher performance per watt for computationally intensive applications such as image processing, automation and digital signage,” according to Rutronik, ...

Concurrent has launched a three-slot VPX rugged military computer for land and air edge processing. “Defence environments are evolving rapidly,” said the company. “Platforms are becoming more autonomous and sensor-rich, driving the need for compute-intensive systems that can keep pace with increasing data demands.” The company’s answer is Huey, a 3U system intended for use with digital and mixed-signal RF ...
