NVIDIA Jetson Xavier-NX module was officially launched about a week ago, and at the time we noted several carrier boards and mini PCs were launched or announced from companies like D3 Engineering, Diamond Systems, and Connect Tech.
We should expect many new Jetson Xavier-NX embedded mini PC announcements over the next few weeks and months, and AAEON has now announced two new similar compact fanless embedded box PCs namely Boxer-8221AI and BOXER-8251AI with the same designed but powered by respectively Jetson Nano and Jetson Xavier-NX modules.
Both models should share the same specifications except for the module:
- SoM
- Boxer-8221AI – NVIDIA Jetson Nano with quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 processor @ 1.43 GHz, 128-core Maxwell GPU, 4GB LPDDR4, 16GB eMMC flash
- Boxer-8251AI – NVIDIA Jetson Xavier-NX with 6-core NVIDIA Carmel ARM v8.2 64-bit CPU, a 384-core NVIDIA Volta GPU with 48 Tensor Cores, 2x NVDLA deep learning accelerators (up to 21 TOPS at 15 Watts), 8 GB LPDDR4x, 16 GB eMMC 5.1 flash
- Video Output – HDMI 2.0 up to 4K @ 60 Hz
- Connectivity
- Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port
- Optional WiFi & Bluetooth via M.2 E-Key 2230 socket + two antenna connectors
- Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port
- USB – 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports; 1x Micro USB port for flashing for OS
- Serial – 2x RS-232 DB9 connectors
- Misc -Power LED, recovery pinhole
- Power Supply – 10V~24V DC via 2-pin terminal block
- Dimensions – 88 x 75 x 39mm
- Weight – 400 grams
The embedded box computer slightly bigger than a credit card, and packs a lot of processing power in such a small factor. The company does not directly rely on the Linux image provided by NVIDIA, but instead AAEON ACLinux 4.9 based on Ubuntu 18.04, that’s probably a just variant of NVIDIA’s Ubuntu image.
AAEON Boxer-8221AI fanless embedded box PC is already for sale for $365.00, and more details can be found on the product page.
