Axiomtek bases fanless edge AI computer vision on Xilinx AI accelerator
The latest fanless, edge AI computer vision system from Axiomtek is based on the Xilinx AI accelerator. The RSC201 uses the Xilinx Kria K26 SoM AI accelerator to support the simultaneous execution of multiple algorithms through the built-in multi-node function. According to Axiomtek, it delivers superior AI computing performance with low latency over other mainstream models in the market.
The RSC201 is compact with a wide operating temperature range. The 5G wireless connection empowers rapid data transmission between edge devices and data centres that improve the decision-making process in machine learning. Typical use cases for the RSC201 are traffic management, automated warehouse logistics, smart fence and autonomous guided vehicles / autonomous mobile robots (AGV / AMR).
The Xilinx Kria K26 SoM provides fast vision AI computing with native ROS 2 support for higher productivity in robotics and industrial automation. It also has 4Gbyte DDR4 system on-board memory and 16Gbyte eMMC.
For expansion interfaces, the RSC201 supports one M.2 Key B 3052 slot and one SIM socket for seamless 5G communication. It also has an M.2 Key B 2242 slot for SSD storage.
It also has extensive system I/O, with one 10 / 100 / 1000Mbits per second Ethernet LAN port, one DisplayPort 1.4, two USB 3.0 ports, one COM port, one CANbus for real-time communication among microcontrollers, one PMOD for peripheral modules connecting and 12 to 24V DC wide power input.
The rugged, fanless RSC201 can withstand a wide operating temperature range of -30 to +75 degrees C and has an IP40-rated extruded aluminium and heavy-duty steel housing to protect against dust and dirt.
The RSC201 is compact and lightweight at only 1.5kg.
It supports the Linux operating system.
The RSC201 is available for ordering now.
