Intel 11th Generation processor on board new PICO-ITX single board computer
Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced a new compact PICO-ITX single board computer (SBC) from leading embedded solutions manufacturer AAEON.
The PICO-EHL4 provides support for 11th Generation Intel Atom, Pentium and Celeron series processors, which enable enhanced performance, flexibility and a host of integrated technologies designed for embedded computing systems.
Greater computing performance
Said to be ideal for low-power embedded applications, “the latest generation of Intel Atom x6000E, Pentium and Celeron N and J series processors deliver greater computing performance over previous generations, along with key technologies such as in-band ECC [Error Correction Code] to ensure data accuracy and integrity”, says RDS.
The PICO-EHL4 also takes advantage of the support for faster memory speeds and higher capacities by providing up to 16GB of LPDDR4x 4267MHz memory on-board.
A strong compliment of I/O features include two USB3.2 and two USB2.0 ports, two serial port headers (supporting RS232/422/485), 4-bit GPIO, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and two HDMI 2.0 ports supporting 4K graphics at 60Hz, in addition to on-board support for LVDS or eDP, allowing the board to support up to three independent displays.
Versatile, integrated platform
Peter Marchant, embedded division manager, RDS, comments: “Review Display Systems provides engineers and designers with an extensive range of embedded products and solutions. The compact, low-power AAEON PICO-EHL4 enables a versatile, integrated computing platform that is highly suitable for information kiosks, digital signage and IoT network applications.”
A host of on-board features enable flexibility to meet the needs of individual applications. Expansion slots include both M.2 2230, which enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality to be added, and a full sized Mini-Card for expanded storage.
The compact form factor of the PICO-ITX SBC features mechanical outline dimensions of just 100mm (w) x 72mm (h) and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°.
