Raspberry Pi has announced its second microcontroller, the RP2350, adding two RISC-V cores alongside improved Arm cores, more ram, and security. Not initially available on its own (ETA pre-year-end), it will first ship as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 single-board microcontroller (right) – which is the same 21 x 51mm size as the original Pico, and priced from ...

Fortec UK is to distribute an Aaeon Pico-ITX board with a NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, which has quad 1.6GHz Arm Cortex-A53 cores. Called Pico-IMX8PL (PICOIMX8PL-A10-0001) and measuring 72 x 100mm, the “board delivers exceptional computing power and versatility in a remarkably compact form factor”, said Fortec. To this, the on-board machine learning accelerator adds 2.3 Top/s. Memory includes 2Gbyte of LPDDR4, ...

At Siggraph today, Supermicro announced a 4U PCIe rack processor cluster with eight Nvidia L40S PCIe GPUs (photo right), scalable up to 256 GPUs in a 32-node scalable unit (photo below). “A wide range of professionals depend on compute-intensive 3D workflows, with use-cases ranging from product design to industrial digital twins,” according to Supermicro. “Up to eight of the latest PCIe ...

San Francisco-based Particle has announced an octa-core Raspberry-Pi shaped single-board computer built around a Qualcomm Snapdragon Kryo CPU with 12Top/s neural processing capability, and equipped with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E comms. Called Tachyon, and aimed at AI edge processing, it is designed to run Ubuntu across its four 1.9GHz Arm cores, three 2.4GHz cores and single 2.7GHz core. Particle describes ...

Distributor Avnet has introduced the Tria brand for its embedded computing products (computer on modules, boards and systems). It has also announced the Tria Technologies business group which will also include its compute design and manufacturing capabilities. Tria Technologies will support OEMs with design either from scratch or using off-the-shelf products and will also make custom designs. Tria will be ...

Moxa is aiming at industrial Ethernet with Layer 3 rack-mount switches. There are two types of MRX Series 64 port Layer 3 switches (left in photo): MRX-Q4064 have 16 and up to 48 2.5Gbit/s ports MRX-G4064 have 8 10Gbit/s Ethernet ports and up to 56 Gbit/s ports “Commercial Ethernet switches are seldom tailored for industrial applications,” said Moxa product manager ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced availability of two COM-HPC Client Size C modules from Aaeon for 12th and 13th generation Intel Core processors. HPC-RPSC supports CPUs with up to 24 cores and 32 threads, and is aimed at complex parallel simulations and data analysis using inference modelling. Up to 64Gbyte of DDR5 SODIMM memory can be fitted and it ...

Sfera Labs is shipping an expandable DIN rail industrial controller, built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. The units are pre-assembled with CM4s with up to 8Gbyte of ram and up to 32Gbyte of eMMC memory, plus an M.2 PCIe SSD can be added for further expansion. For extra security, Zymbit’s Secure Compute Module can be fitted instead of ...

Aaeon is aiming at in-vehicle surveillance systems for busses and law-enforcement with a PC built around Nvidia’s Jetson Orin NX artificial intelligence processor and equipped with eight power-over-Ethernet ports. Called Boxer-8658AI, there are two versions: one with a hex-core Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64bit CPU and 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 memory, and the other with 16Gbyte and an octa-core processor. “For in-vehicle or ...

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. ...
