Sapphire of Hong Kong has announced Mini-ITX and ‘5×5’ PC motherboards for AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 processors with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics – where 5×5 (see photo) is actually 5.8 x 5.5inch or ~150x140mm. They are suited for applications requiring a high speed communications front-end like a mini-server or high resolution display products such as electronic gaming machines, medical imaging, ...

Aaeon has build two Intel Movidius Myriad X AI processors onto a 22x80mm m.2 standard module for vision processing. Called ‘AI Core XM2280’, it is capable of up to 200frame/s (160 typical) and over 2 trillion floating point operations per second as a dedicated neural network accelerator. It is compatible with Intel’s OpenVINO tool kit and supports Tensorflow and Caffe ...

Following the signing of a global distribution agreement, Mouser announced three boards from embedded hardware and software company, krtkl. The company specialises in edge computing applications from mechatronics and automation to computer vision and remote sensing. The boards now available from the distributor are the snickerdoodle black system on module (SoM), the breakyBreaky breakout baseboard and the piSmasher SBC baseboard. ...

SolidRun has teamed up with wireless module firm U-blox to create gateways and single board computers for IoT. They include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth personal area networking, Wirepas Mesh, cellular connectivity, as well as USB and a 10/100/1000 wired Ethernet. Processing comes from an NXP i.MX6 Arm Cortex-A9 processor, with either single, dual or quad-cores, working with up to 2Gbyte of ...

Farnell develops an industrial IoT gateway that includes an on-board Raspberry Pi circuit

Arrow has introduced a develoment board for ST Microelectronics’ new Linux-enabled MCU that combines a 209MHz Arm Cortex-M4 core for real-time processing with dual 650MHz Cortex-A7 cores for the open-source operating system to run a human-machine interface. Called Avenger96 Development Platform and System on Module (SoM), the parts are intended to work within the 96Boards ecosystems. “The SoM, based on ...

Estone Technology has announced pico-ITX embedded processing board which includes DSP for voice control applications. Called EMB-2238, it is based around quad Arm Cortex-A53 cores in an NXP i.MX8M, plus a single Cortex-M4. “This board takes the advantage of NXP’s latest i.MX8M application processor with up to 15 year longevity, advance audio and 4k video support,” according to the firm. ...

RS Components is stocking Intel’s Neural Compute Stick 2, for fast deep-learning IoT development. “As well as for use by data scientists and academics, the device is ideal for developers and engineers looking at integrating computer-vision and artificial intelligence capabilities into their IoT,” according to RS. Like the earlier Movidius Neural Compute Stick, NCS 2 is based on the Intel’s ...
