Compact, rugged industrial AI computer runs Linux on TX2

Jan 11, 2019 — by Eric Brown

Aaeon’s compact, fanless “Boxer-8110AI” embedded computer runs Ubuntu 16.04 on an Nvidia Jetson TX2 module and offers GbE, HDMI, CAN, serial, and 3x USB ports, plus anti-vibration and -20 to 50°C support.

Like the Boxer-8120A from last May, Aaeon’s Boxer-8110AI runs Ubuntu 16.04 on Nvidia’s Jetson TX2 module. It similarly offers 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 32GB eMMC 5.1, and a microSD slot, and offers -20 to 50°C tolerance. The more compact, 110 x 65 x 40mm Boxer-8110AI has a reduced feature set, yet at $1,033, it’s only $34 cheaper.

Nvidia’s Jetson TX2 is equipped with an Arm-based Tegra-family SoC with dual Cortex-A72-like “Denver” cores and 4x -A57 cores. The SoC incorporates 256-core Pascal graphics, supported with CUDA libraries for AI, vision processing, GPU-accelerated parallel processing, and deep/machine learning.
