AAEON MIX-MTLD1 – A industrial Meteor Lake-H/U Mini-ITX motherboard with OOB management

MIX MTLD1 Meteor Lake Mini ITX motherboard

AAEON MIX-MTLD1 is an industrial Mini-ITX motherboard supporting out-of-band (OOB) management and powered by an Intel Core Ultra Meteor Lake H/U processor (Intel Core Ultra 5 125H by default). The board supports up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, PCIe Gen 5 expansion, dual LAN, and various I/O options, including seven USB and four COM headers, and has a design fairly similar to the Jetway MTX-ARH1 released last week, with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H or Core Ultra 7 155H SoC. What makes the MIX-MTLD1 different is the NCSI header for out-of-band (OOB) management using a MOD-RMB module, which links the Ethernet controller to a BMC for remote monitoring and control independently of the OS running on the CPU. This feature is common in servers, but more rare in industrial Mini-ITX boards, although we previously covered the DFI RPS101/RPS103 mini-ITX motherboards and HoneyComb Ryzen V3000 motherboard featuring OOB management […]

AAEON NV8600-Nano AI Developer Kit Review – Part 2: Benchmarks, features testing, AI demos with Nx Meta

NV8600-Nano AI Developer Kit review with Nx Meta AI platform

In the first part of the review, I had a look at the hardware of the NV8600-Nano AI developer Kit featuring an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB module, booted it to Ubuntu 22.04, checked some system information, and made sure both the USB camera and Raspberry Pi Camera Module 2 (MIPI CSI) module worked fine.

I’ve now spent much more time with the Edge AI devkit, and report my experience in the second part of the review with some benchmarks, key features testing, and AI vision demos using Network Optix Nx Meta IP video management platform with the provided USB camera and an ONVIF-capable network camera.
