Moxa has created a series of fan-less embedded PCs for use in marine applications. Suiting them to marine use, they offer four NMEA0183 serial ports – ports which are expected by some navigation systems and sonars, for example. Part of the MC-3201 PC family, they offer a choice of Intel 11th gen CPUs, either Core or Celeron, up to 28W. ...

Kontron is aiming at military radar with is latest 6U VPX plug-in computer card, based around Intel Xeon D-2800 or D-2700 processors. Called VX6096, it includes VITA48.8 through-flow air cooling to allow operation over -40 to +55°C or, on request, -40 to +70°C (FC3) or even -40 to +85°C (CC-4). “The VITA 48.2 Type 2 conduction-cooled version can withstand card edge temperatures ...

The plethora of off-the-shelf boards available for development and production can make a bewildering choice. Engineers need to bear a number of criteria in mind, advises Simon Wade. There are many choices facing embedded systems developers who want to use off-the-shelf boards for development and production. There are numerous offerings based around the Arm architecture alone. The open licensing policy ...

Raspberry Pi 5 now has the option of an AI co-processor for neural networks, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The AI kit comprises the same M.2 HAT+ recently announced for holding NVMe memory drives, instead loaded with 13Top/s Hailo-8L AI processor. Connection, according to Raspberry Pi, is over its single-lane “PCIe 3.0 connection running at 8Gbit/s” – which is the ...

Raspberry Pi has released the official M.2 HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5, allowing the connection of NVMe memory drives and AI accelerators. It accepts M.2 2230 or 2242 form factors, to which it can supply up to 3A and transfer data at up to 500Mbyte/s via the Pi’s single PCIe 2.0 channel. Being compliant to the HAT+ specification means that ...

  Concurrent Technologies has put Intel Atom x7000RE Amston Lake processors into a VME board, adding image processing and AI audio processing accelerators to the venerable form factor. CPU choice on the board, called Rhea, is either the four-core 1.5GHz x7433RE, or the two-core 2GHz x7213RE. “Whilst no longer the cutting edge of technology, VME continues to be a widely ...

Congatec announced SMARC modules based on Intel’s Atom x7000RE ‘Amston Lake’ processors. “Specially designed for industrial requirements, they deliver eight processor cores, double the previous generation, while maintaining the same power consumption,” according  to Congatec. Called conga‑SA8, the modules are credit card size and operate over -40 to +85°C. Read all the latest news from Embedded World 2024 » AI ...

Supermicro has announced edge computers built around Intel’s Atom x7000RE processors. SYS-E100-14AM and SYS-E102-14AM mini-PCs have up to eight ‘Efficient’ cores had dissipate less than 12W. “While the SYS-E102 comes in a form factor of only 190 x 44 x 120 mm, these systems offer up to 16GB of DDR5-SODIMM, dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, two independent HDMI ports, three ...

Mouser reflected one of the major themes at Embedded World 2024, intelligence at the edge, and announced it has signed Edge Impulse, the software framework provider for embedded machine learning (ML) applications. Machine learning is implemented at the edge of the network, explained Mouser’s Mark Patrick in order to make decisions very quickly at the [network] edge. [Edge Impulse’s] products ...

SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...
