AAEON’s PICO & GENE Board Ranges Adopt the New Intel Atom x7000RE Processor Series for the Edge
Summary
As a result, AAEON has identified this compact solution as an ideal choice for those seeking a discreet single-board computer capable of managing latency-sensitive workloads in fields such as smart transportation and manufacturing.The PICO-ASL4 showcases innovative design by eliminating the product lines standard heat spreader and instead employing a slim, all-in-one heatsink. Enhancing its display capabilities are LVDS and optional eDP 1.4, granting users two simultaneous displays.While the PICO-ASL4 shows promise in the smart transportation and manufacturing sectors, the GENE-ASL6 is specifically designed for edge gateway and digital signage applications. This board supports three simultaneous displays via its HDMI, VGA, and LVDS interfaces, and it includes audio functionality with Line-In, Line-Out, and microphone options. This combination also paves the way for potential smart kiosk deployments, where the GENE-ASL6’s optional TPM 2.0 and CPU-native encryption and decryption optimizations would provide significant advantages.For edge device applications, the GENE-ASL6 features three LAN ports, each operating at 2.5 GbE. These options facilitate the integration of wireless communication modules for Wi-Fi and 5G, as well as high-speed storage solutions.Much like its counterpart, the GENE-ASL6 sees schematic innovation with a solder-side design, which allows for higher component density without compromising signal integrity or causing mechanical stress via optimized fanless heat dissipation, granting it a broad operating temperature of -40°C to 85°C.Detailed specifications for both boards can be found on their respective product pages on the AAEON website.About AAEONEstablished in 1992, AAEON is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of industrial IoT and AI Edge solutions.
