AAEON Unleashes Power-Efficient PICO-RAP4 with 13th Gen Intel Core Processing: A Game-Changer for Big Projects
AAEON's PICO-RAP4 utilizes the latest 13th generation Intel Core processors on the compact 2.5" Pico-ITX form factor. With its power-efficient design, ability to process real-time data, and synchronized interfaces, the PICO-RAP4 is a small but powerful solution for large projects.
AAEON, a company that specializes in embedded solutions, has introduced a new PICO-ITX board called the PICO-RAP4. This board is compatible with CPUs from the latest 13th Generation Intel Core processor platform and includes features specifically designed for advanced computing applications like service robots and healthcare imaging devices.
The PICO-RAP4 has a CPU support list that includes Intel processors from the U300E to the Intel Core i7 1370PE, offering a hybrid CPU architecture for fast and efficient processing for its intended uses. It also features faster data transfer rates and improved bandwidth through 32GB of DDR5 memory (up to 5200 MT/s) in a flexible configuration.
The PICO-RAP4 platform is compatible with Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics and supports dual displays through its HDMI, eDP, and LVDS interfaces. It has exclusive support for Intel® Ethernet interfaces, including one RJ-45 port for Intel® Ethernet Controller I226-V at 2.5GbE speed and a second port for Intel® Ethernet Connection I219-LM at Gigabit Ethernet speed. Additionally, the board features two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports.
The PICO-RAP4 internal connectors offer a wide range of functions, such as two serial COM connectors for RS-232/422/485, an 8-bit GPIO, SMBus (compatible with I2C), and an optional audio header. TCC, TSN, and timed-GPIO support provide reliable communication channels for integrating sensors, actuators, and control systems. The powerful processor selection and DDR5 system memory enhance the communication protocol selection, enabling the processing of large datasets for tasks like SLAM, object recognition, and path planning in the development of service robot solutions.
When it comes to increasing capabilities, the PICO-RAP4 includes an M.2 2280 M-Key slot for a PCIe 4.0 [x4] connection, as well as extra storage space with a Mini PCIe/mSATA slot. Furthermore, a 61-pin FPC connector provides two 4-lane MIPI CSI interfaces, giving users the choice to use high-quality cameras in addition to standard USB and ethernet camera support.
This board can work with both Windows and Ubuntu operating systems. AAEON offers customers the option to choose between a heat spreader or an active fan cooler based on their needs.
The PICO-RAP4 is currently being mass-produced and can be ordered through the AAEON eShop. To find out more information and see detailed specifications, you can visit the product page for the PICO-RAP4.
