Advantech, a leading provider of embedded computing solutions, is pleased to launch the EPC-R7200 system, an industrial-grade box PC compatible with NVIDIA Jetson. The EPC-R7200 system meets the demands of the growing adoption of cutting-edge AI devices on the NVIDIA Jetson platform with an ultra-compact form factor (152 × 137 × 42 mm; 5,9 × 5,3 × 1,6 inches ). This Box PC is specifically designed for AI developers using the NVIDIA Jetson family of modules, including the Jetson Xavier™ NX, Jetson™ TX2 NX, and Jetson Nano™ modules. These features make the EPC-R7200 the perfect choice for cutting-edge AI applications in all industries.
AI Accelerator with NVIDIA Jetson
Advantech's EPC-R7200 industrial-grade box PC is equipped with a motherboard that is fully compatible with all three types of Jetson modules in terms of form factor and pinout. Designed to serve as a complete industrial-grade system, the EPC-R7200 has a high-quality aluminum casing with improved heat dissipation system and ESD protection that provides maximum levels of safety and protection. In addition, EPC-R7200 system thermal solutions include module-specific and modular heat sinks.
NVIDIA Jetson modules work with the NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK. JetPack™ includes the Jetson Linux Driver Package (L4T) with the Ubuntu Linux operating system and CUDA-X. Both solutions serve to accelerate AI development. The EPC-R7200 system is fully compatible with the NVIDIA SDK and enables the use of AI. It also allows AI developers to automatically trigger I/O without the need to install drivers or configure additional features. The Advantech EPC-R7200 unit supports wide operating temperature ranges and power inputs, and offers high vibration tolerance (-40 ~ 85ºC/-40 ~ 185ºF; 9 ~ 24 VDC; 3,0 Grms) . It also allows the modules of the Jetson family to be transformed into a state-of-the-art AI system. This helps users produce prototypes in the field with significantly less development time and system verification and integration resource utilization.
Expandable I/O design to meet the requirements of different applications
Cutting-edge AI applications, including image inference, require the highest quality camera inputs. For this, the EPC-R7200 system has 2 2-way MIPI-CSI2 camera inputs for intelligent vision-based systems. It also has 1 HDMI 2.0 port for displays with 4K resolution, 2 GbE LAN ports that offer maximum connectivity, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 M.2 slots for wireless module (1 x 2230 Key E and 1 x 3042 Key B ). Thanks to the UIO40-Express mechanical design, the EPC-R7200 motherboard uses application-oriented I/O expansion cards to offer greater capacity.
This allows developers to select I/O expansion cards such as M.2 2280 Key M slots for additional storage via NVMe SSD connection, serial ports (RS-232, RS-485), isolated DI/SD, USB 2.0 and 4-port GbE Ethernet hub. In addition, Advantech's AIM-Linux software service provides UIO40-Express peripheral drivers for NVIDIA JetPack SDK 4.5.1. This allows you to use the functions of UIO40-Express without additional integration efforts.
