Small form factor computing system is based on Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin
Elma Electronic has expanded its line of rugged small form factor (SFF) edge computing systems to include the JetSys-5330, based on the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin System on Module (SoM). The artificial intelligence (AI) platform delivers up to 275 TOPS, coupled with expansion sites for custom I/O and storage requirements, making the JetSys-5330 suitable for rugged, deployed deep-learning applications.
The JetSys-5330 utilises wireless multi-access edge computing. Industrial applications, including robotics, autonomous mining, agriculture and construction vehicles, can also benefit from the JetSys-5330 edge computing capabilities.
Mark Littlefield, director, system products for Elma Electronic, commented: “The power of AI brought to the edge by this latest Nvidia Jetson-based JetSys platform is enhanced by the versatile and extensive I/O interfaces and storage capabilities. This new system can handle multiple concurrent video pipelines, which means enhanced data handling and processing power for rugged systems.”
The Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin is a powerful SoM for AI applications, featuring a 2048-core Nvidia Ampere architecture GPU with 64 Tensor Cores and a 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE. Deep learning and vision accelerators, a video encoder/decoder, high-speed I/O, 204GB/s of memory bandwidth and up to 64GB of DRAM contribute to its processing capabilities.
Claimed to be easily configurable and expandable, the JetSys-5330 combines the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin module with Elma’s JetKit-3110 carrier card, which provides the necessary power and interfaces for the SoM as well as three mini-PCIe slots (one that doubles as mSATA) and two M.2 slots (one B-Key and one M-Key) for custom I/O or fixed storage expansion.
The platform’s rugged design is IP67-rated and qualified to standards including MIL-STD-810G, MIL-HDBK-704F and MIL-STD-1275D. The platform’s power consumption ranges from 53W to 130W depending on the system configuration. Maximum weight is 16lbs with an optionally available fan kit.
