Elkhart Lake Mini PC PoS Kiosk applications

AAEON provides support for Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 20.04.3 (IOT) with Linux 5.13 for the fanless mini PC. The mini PC is mostly interesting because of its tiny size, it is fanless and appears to be designed for 24/7 operation.

If the name rings a bell, it’s because the PICO-EHL4-SEMI mini PC is based on the PICO-EHL4 pico-ITX SBC introduced in 2021 with a wide range of Elkhart Lake processors from the Celeron N6210 to the Atom x6425RE. The “new” mini PC only offers two of those processors and a subset of the features since some of the internal connectors in the single board computer are not accessible with a metal case. It’s unclear why it took almost two years to launch the mini PC after the board was introduced.

The AAEON PICO-EHL4-SEMI (J6412) with 8GB RAM and a 32GB eMMC flash can be purchased online for $417 provided the company (re-)stocks it.  More details may be found on the product page and the press release.
