Extreme Performance AI NVIDIA Jetson TX2i Rugged Computer, JetSys-5320

Elma’s JetSys-5320 SFF is a small form factor, rugged embedded computing system based on the NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2i. Housed in an extreme rugged compact enclosure, and leveraging PICMG’s COM Express architecture, the system features NVIDIA Pascal™ architecture with 256 CUDA cores delivering 1.3 teraflops (or TFLOP) of performance, along with a dual-core Denver 2 64-bit CPU and quad-core ARM A57 complex making it an ideal platform for AI computation at the edge.”

This rugged system also provides HD-SDI, Gigabit Ethernet (with Power-over-Ethernet), and USB3.0 interfaces for video capture with IP67 rated ingress protection. This small form factor product is qualified to meet MIL-STD-810G for operation in harsh environments.

The JetSys-5320 SFF embedded system supports defense applications that require very high levels of computation, such as video and image processing, signal processing and deep learning in next generation autonomous vehicles, surveillance, targeting and electronic warfare (EW) systems.

Product Features:

– NVIDIA Pascal™ Architecture
– 2 x Ethernet camera support with power over Ethernet (PoE)
– 256 CUDA cores delivering 1.3 teraflops (or TFLOP) of performance
– Dual-core Denver 2 64-bit CPU and quad-core ARM A57 complex
– Memory: 8GB LPDDR4 + 32GB eMMC
– Video Encoder/Decoder: 4K 60Hz
– Advanced power management through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
– 4 x miniPCIe slots for I/O expansion
– Power Monitors and sequencers for TX2i/TX2
– 2 x 3G SDI video capture support

XCOM-6400: Rugged Intel® Core™ i7/i5 CPU

Acromag’s XCOM-6400 is a basic size platform (95 x 125mm) processor module with Type 6 interconnects. Several models are available with the 4th generation (Haswell) Intel Core i7 or i5 CPUs. Designed for industrial and defense applications, the XCOM-6400 has an extra rigid PCB and extended temperature support.

The 4th generation of Intel’s i5 and i7 processors delivers many enhanced capabilities for media, graphics, security, and power management. Huge performance improvements were made for floating-point-intensive computations which are critical for digital signal and image processing applications such as radar and sonar. Enhanced graphics enable smoother playback of high quality images for digital signage or displays. Better power efficiency reduces heat and allows smaller, lighter designs with more portability.

Cutting-edge technology features programmable power limits, allowing the user to “dial-down” the maximum power consumption of the CPU in systems where power is a concern.

This module sets a new standard for shock and vibration by implementing a SODIMM hold down mechanism. Soldering down the memory is no longer necessary.

The XCOM-6400 also provides a heat sink capability not available on traditional COM Express designs. Conduction-cooled rails set a new standard for carrier cards.

XPedite8152

The XPedite8152 is a Rugged COM Express® module based on the Intel® Atom™ E3800 series of processors. It is based on the COM Express® Mini form factor, but is extended to 55 mm x 109 mm to provide up to 32 GB of SLC NAND flash as well as 4 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM. The XPedite8152 also supports an enhanced Type 10 pinout with one Dual-Mode DisplayPort, one Embedded DisplayPort, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and three SATA interfaces.

With built-in test (BIT) support, true configuration and obsolescence management, Class III PCB fabrication and assembly, environmental qualification per MIL-STD-810, as well as many other features, the XPedite8152 is designed and tested for maximum reliability in the most demanding environments and applications that require long life cycles.

Wind River VxWorks and Linux Board Support Packages, as well as Microsoft Windows drivers, are available for the XPedite8152. It also supports the open source coreboot bootloader, powered by Intel®’s Firmware Support Package (FSP), to enable ultra-fast boot times and drastically simplify system security.

The Intel® Atom™ E3800 series processors are low-power system-on-chip (SoC) processors with integrated graphics and support for up to four cores operating at up to 1.91 GHz. Along with best-in-class performance-per-watt, the E3800 family supports extremely low operating temperatures, and its power-efficient 22 nm technology enables operation in the most demanding high-temperature environments. The XPedite8152 supports the E3825 processor in standard configurations and can be built to support the E3845, E3827, E3826, E3815, and E3805. The E3800 series is the 4th generation Atom™ processor from Intel® and was formerly known as the Bay Trail-I platform and Valleyview processor.
