Credit card-sized embedded board preps for AIoT
Despite its size, the KIWI310 is an embedded board created for artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) applications in robotics, industrial automation, retail, video surveillance and smart cities, says Axiomtek.
The credit card-sized, embedded board is powered by the Intel Celeron processor N3350 with the Intel integrated Gen9 graphic engine. The compact fanless single board computer (SBC) supports Linux, Android and Windows operating systems, ready for AIoT applications, says the company.
The integrated KIWI310 was designed to shorten the time to market and reduce development costs, explains Kevin Lin, a product manager of the product planning division at Axiomtek. “The advanced KIWI310 has one M.2 Key E 2230 slot for integrating the Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU. Through the M.2 Key E slot, it also supports 5G module to catch up with the trend of 5G business opportunities,” he adds.
The SBC can boot up via USB type C or PoE (with a PoE HAT) as well as operate as a standalone SBC. IoT capabilities are served by different peripherals, such as PoE modules, temperature sensors, RFID kits, G-sensor, light sensors and LED units.
The KIWI310 has onboard LDDR4 for up to 4Gbyte of system memory and eMMC storage for up to 64Gbyte. It can operate in a wide temperature range from 0 to 60 degrees C. The compact board is equipped with one Gigabit Ethernet port with Realtek RTL8111 which supports wake-on-LAN and PXE boot ROM. There are also two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports and one micro HDMI. A 40-pin header with general purpose I/O signal is available to provide I2C, UART, and general purpose I/O signals. The 1.8-inch SBC has hardware monitoring function to monitor CPU / system temperature and voltage, for stable operation.
