Single Board Computers

DFI has produced what it said is the first single-board computer sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon QRB5165 processor, and revealed it at Embedded World 2023. The 146 x 102mm QRB551 industrial-grade ‘3.5inch’ size motherboard has Qualcomm’s Robotics RB5 platform, with 5G connectivity, and is intended to implement appearance recognition, defect detection and human body posture recognition in factories, said DFI. QRB5165 ...

OnLogic launched Intel Alder Lake 12th genertion x86 fanless industrial PCs at Embedded World in Nuremberg today. Called Helix 401, it is the smallest of the company’s Helix Series of passively-cooled, fan-less industrial computers. “Helix 401 balances size and performance while providing a range of configuration possibilities to help users tailor it to their specific application,” said company product manager ...

Congatec is adding Texas Instruments processors to its portfolio of Arm-based single board computers. Conga-STDA4 is the first, a SMARC computer-on-module with TI’s industrial-grade TDA4VM processor, which has dual Cortex-A72 cores and is aimed at industrial mobile machinery requiring near-field analytics – automated guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots, construction machinery and agricultural machinery, for example. There are also six 1GHz ...

Embedded computing specialist TQ has introduced computer-on-modules and other embedded boards with processors from Intel, NXP and Texas Instruments today at Embedded World. There are two NXP i.MX93 based modules, a single board compute and an evaluation board. The TQMa93xxLA LGA module and TQMa93xxCA plug-in module are intended to be an upgrade for i.MX-6UL designs – the i.MX-93 processors have two ...

At Embedded World next week, Seco will be showing an i.MX 93 computer-on-module compliant to SMARC release 2.1.1. Called Maury, its NXP processor has on board: Arm Cortex-A55, Cortex-M33 and Ethos-U65  – the last one a neural network processor. “As an NXP Early Access Program participant and an NXP Gold Partner, Seco started development of Maury before the general availability ...

BeagleBoard has stepped into Raspberry Pi territory with a quad-Arm-core board called BeaglePlay, and at the same time has released a wireless microcontroller module called BeagleConnect Freedom. BeaglePlay “has built-in wired and wireless connectivity, including innovative single-pair Ethernet and sub-GHz wireless options, enabling it to connect to a vast selection of sensor and prototyping systems with thousands of options,” according ...

Inspired by its professional range, Arduino has put dual Arm cores, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE and 76 IOs into its Mega form-factor. The new board is called Giga R1 WiFi, and has an Arm Cortex-M7 running at 480MHz and M4 at 240MHz, with two additional connectors for the additional IO, one of which can handle a camera. “Spring-boarding off the R&D efforts ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) of Westerham has announced the availability of a new 3.5-inch SubCompact SBC from AAEON. The AAEON GENE-ADP6 uses the latest 12th Generation Intel Core i7, i5, i3 and Celeron SoC processors featuring hybrid platform processor architectures with up to 12 cores and 16 threads, and delivers CPU performance enhancements of up to 15% over previous generations ...

While the Arduino organisation has been making industrial single-board computers for a while, it has finally taken the plunge and produced a complete industrial product – and industrial controller called Opta, created in partnership with industrial controller maker Finder. Built around an STM32H747XI microcontroller, internal processing comes from two cores: a 480MHz Arm Cortex-M7 and a 240MHx Cortex-M4. It is ...

Sfera Labs has added the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4S (CM4S) to options within its range of DIN rail computers. Raspberry Pi aims the CM4S at industrial users migrating from earlier Compute Modules. Loosely based on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B electronics, it comes in the same DDR2-SODIMM-like form factor as the Compute Module 3 and 3+. Sfera’s CM4S-based computers ...
