Advantech Edge AI Computer and PoE NVR Feature NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX SoM

Following the launch of NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX SoM last year, we noted several third-party carrier boards and embedded PCs had been announced, and we expected more to come soon. Advantech has now unveiled two systems based on NVIDIA latest module with respectively MIC-710AIX edge AI computer and MIC-710IVX NVR system equipped with eight PoE ports.

MIC-710AIX edge AI computer

Specifications:

SoM – NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX with
- 6-core NVIDIA Carmel ARM v8.2 64-bit CPU, 6MB L2 + 4MB L3 caches
- 384-core NVIDIA Volta GPU with 48 Tensor Cores
- 2x NVDLA deep learning accelerators
- System Memory – 8GB 128-bit LPDDR4x
- Storage – 16 GB eMMC 5.1 flash
Storage – M.2 2280 Key-M socket for SSD; SD card socket
Video Output – HDMI up to 3840×2160 @ 60 Hz
Networking – 2x Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via Intel i210IT controller
USB – 1x USB 3.0 host port, 1x USB 2.0 host port, 1x USB 2.0 internal interface, 1x Micro USB OTG port (internal)
Serial – 1x RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 DB9 port
Expansion
- 8-bit DIO with 4 inputs, 4 outputs via terminal block
- 1x MiniPCIe socket to add card via “iDoor” cover (see diagram below)
Power Supply – 19-24V DC (3A-2A) via 2-pin terminal block
Dimensions – 147 x 118 x 52mm
Weight – 1.2 kg
Temperature Range – -10 ~ 60°C with 0.7 m/s air flow (Max-P ARM mode)
Humidity – 95% @ 40 °C (non-condensing)
Shock – 3 Grms @ 5 ~ 500 Hz, random, 1 hr/axis
Certifications – CE, FCC, and BSMI (Taiwan)

MIC-710AIX edge AI computer can be installed used in desktop and mounted to a DIN RAIL. The fanless embedded PC runs Ubuntu 18.04 with NVIDIA JetPack 4.4, and targets AI inferences in smart city and manufacturing applications.

The device is still shown as “preliminary” on the product page, and availability and pricing are not known at this point in time.

MIC-710IVX NVR system

Specifications:

SoM – NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX module as described above
Storage – 2x SATA ports for 3.5″ hard drives
Video Output – HDMI up to 3840×2160 @ 60 Hz
Networking
- 1x Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via Intel i211IT controller
- 8x 10/100M 802.3af-compliant PoE ports (Ethernet) via MICROSEMI PD69104B1ILQ controller and Realtek RTL8316SI Gigabit Ethernet switch; Power output: 15.4W
USB – 1x USB 3.0 host port, 1x USB 2.0 host port, 1x USB 2.0 OTG internal interface
Serial – 1x RS-485 DB9 port
Expansion – 8-bit DIO with 4 inputs, 4 outputs via terminal block
Misc – PoE LEDs, power switch
Power Supply – AC100-240V 250W ATX
Dimensions – 300 x 330 x 57mm
Weight – 3 kg
Temperature Range – 0 ~ 40°C with 0.7 m/s air flow
Humidity – 95% @ 40 °C (non-condensing)
Shock – 0.5 Grms @ 5 ~ 500 Hz, random, 1 hr/axis
Certifications – CE, FCC, and BSMI (Taiwan)

Advantech MIC-710IVX runs the same Ubuntu 18.04 operating system with JetPack, but is actively cooled, not quite as rugged, and especially designed video analytics for smart city applications thanks to support for up to eight H.264/H.265 IP cameras.

Again, availability and pricing have not been announced, and the product page still shows the NVR as being “preliminary”.
