Compulab EdgeAI-ORN supports side, bottom VESA, and DIN rail mount options, and ships with NVIDIA Jetson Linux 36.4.3 (Jetpack 6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04). We’ve written about many of Jetson Orin embedded systems, but the EdgeAI-ORN offers a modular design with a range of camera input options, namely GSML2, FPD Link IV, and MIPI CSI, as well as PoE and USB 3.2 camera support.

Target applications for the EdgeAI-ORN include vision-intensive workloads at the edge, such as smart traffic management, industrial visual inspection, autonomous machines, retail analytics, and UAV surveillance.

Samples of the EdgeAI-ORN Edge AI computer can be purchased for $536.48 (Orin Nano 4GB, barebone) to $1,197.68 (Orin Jetson NX 16GB, 256GB SSD, 4x GSML2, 60W power supply) on the Compulab store. Additional information may be found on the product page.
