AAEON single-board computers (including UPS-P4-A10-08128) have become a must-have for applications that require a compact and efficient device with x86 architecture that is not an industrial computer.
Application areas
The UPS-P4-A10-08128 unit performs well in advanced systems, where the high computing power offered by small devices is needed. Such requirements are increasingly being applied to applications in the industrial automation segment. In addition, Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are not end nodes, such as data flow control and gateways, are built using single-board computers. Computer UPS-P4-A10-08128 (Up Square, UP2) will work fine in this role. Another area of application are the applications related to the analysis and processing of images in real time. The UP2 single-board computer can collaborate with an mPCI-e card containing a system that is part of a neural network (for example, Intel® Movidius® MyriadTM graphics processor).
In such a situation, its computing power increases significantly, allowing data analysis and processing directly on edge nodes (edge computing). Thanks to this, processing time is reduced and the costs associated with data transmission, as well as the service and rent of computer centers are minimized. In this way, a single-board computer becomes a key part of the system for item detection (for example, brand-specific products in a vending machine or license plates for cars entering a guarded parking lot), identification of people (for example, gender and age of people who visit the store at a certain time of day).
In the end, it can become a control unit in an autonomous vehicle that analyzes and processes the images from the camera. The number of applications is limited only by the ingenuity of the designer. Single board computers are often used in small batch production, where the requirement is to reduce design time until the product is released to the market. In addition, the cooperation with the Linux and Windows operating systems makes the creation of electronic devices easier for programmers who, having at their disposal a large number of libraries and drivers present in the operating system itself, do not need to delve into the problems. related to the hardware layer of the device.
Advantages
A major advantage of the single board computer is its small dimensions, which translate to the size of the final device. UPS-P4-A10-08128 operates in a wide temperature range, and the fixed and working memory in the form of integrated circuits is resistant to shock and vibration. An important advantage is also the low power consumption. It translates not only to lower energy demand, but also to increased equipment durability and reliability. Thanks to the interfaces mounted on the board, it is possible to exchange data with external devices. The single board computer UPS-P4-A10-08128 from the company AAEON will be available until at least 2024. The device is CE/FCC Class A certified.
